current energy crisis and cost of living crisis we want to do all we can to make
sure it is affordable for anyone wanting to hire the hall for an event to be able to
do so. I am glad to be able to say that so far we have seen a slight increase in
hiring and with our current electricity contract and the government price cap,
currently now being reviewed in April?
We are able to maintain our prices through the winter and into early spring at
least. The more the hall is hired and used the more likely it is that we can continue
to offer our incredible facilities at excellent value
for money prices. Please contact Angela Tozer
our booking secretary to see if the date you want
the hall for is still available. And, in the meantime
we the trustees look forward to seeing you at an
event in our village hall soon.

those who have gone before. Not just the founding members but all those who
day by day, week by week, year by year have kept it going.
We continue to be well supported both by volunteers and customers. Without
those who order, collect, take in stock and work behind the counter or those who
come in and buy the community shop would not be possible. Visitors often
comment on the vast selection we have in the shop, the fresh fruit and veg, the
