1st February

Village Hall

The Village Hall Indoor Sports Club Memberships are due for renewal as from 1st. February.

To coincide with this and to make use of an otherwise free spell in the Hall, a Bowls and Table Tennis day has been set up. The Hall will be open every Monday from 2pm until 10pm until the end of March as a trial and will be extended if the demand is there.

The first such occasion took place this week and was well supported.

There are 2 top quality Table Tennis Tables available and Bowls equipment that has lain dormant for some time but is still in good condition. All ages are welcome but children under 16 must be accompanied and controlled by an adult. The sessions will also be open to non members. All details of pricing etc are displayed on the Hall notice board.

To raise funds family quiz nights will be held on Saturday 24 February and Saturday 24 March starting 7.30pm this gives plenty of time get teams ready, more details nearer the time!
