VILLAGE HALL NEWS

Hi, hopefully all the build up and effort everyone
put in led to a very enjoyable festive season. The
st
Christmas fayre at the village hall on the 1 of
December certainly kicked everything off in the
right way for us. A massive thank you to all the stall holders and all of you that
came along to make it such a great day. There was a lovely buzz in the hall and
a great atmosphere with people laughing and chatting as you browsed the stalls
or indulged in a turkey roll with stuffing and cranberry sauce washed down with
an exceptional glass of mulled wine. What a way to get things started. As I write
we are yet to enjoy the Christmas lights displays and the awards evening, not to
mention the carols in the hall with the Briantspuddle singers and at the church,
Mike Menzies talks, and the New Year’s Eve party rounding everything off. But,
what I do know is that with all the hard work everyone is putting into these events
that there will have been something for everyone to enjoy. A huge debt of
gratitude is due all of my trustees and friends who have enabled to hall to thrive
through 2019 and, I know, are already working tirelessly towards just as an
eventful 2020.
Diving straight into another fun evening we have the ever popular Burns night, this
th
year falling on a Saturday, 25 for those unsure of the date. Tickets are available
and disappear very quickly for this much anticipated evening, and with it being a
Saturday I’m guessing the limited tickets will be in even more demand than usual
so please get in quick to avoid disappointment. We can only seat a certain
number and once they’re gone they’re gone. RainBarrow will once again be
delighting us with their musical talents on the night and it will indeed be a great
start to life in the hall for another year. Tickets are available from myself and you
can contact me on 07818078191.
As we all set out into this year with all the good intentions and resolutions to get
more exercise, drink less, learn a musical instrument, read more or whatever else it
is we want to achieve let us also resolve to get to know each other that little bit
better and enjoy each other’s company and how better to do all that than by
making use of our wonderful hall and the events that go on there. Pilates, yoga
and keep fit are ideal ways of dealing with the excesses of last month and then
there’s the coffee shop on Saturday mornings along with Mike’s talks and the
many other things that happen in and around the hall that enable us to meet
together socially. Also as an advance notice we have VE day celebrations this
