Unbelievably our "New" Hall celebrated its 10th anniversary of opening in October and to mark the occasion properly we will be holding a Celebration Evening. The date for your diary is Friday 4th December from 7:30, it would have been nearer October but the hall is fairly booked up right through. The evening promises to be a fun, relaxed event with lots of current hall users showing us displays of what you can expect from the various Clubs and societies who frequent our hall. The finale is a short video showing the transition from old to new. It shows parties in both halls and even the old hall being demolished and the new one built. We are of course planning refreshments and do hope you all can join us.

The new storage area is now decorated and the new cupboards will hopefully be fitted very soon!

The Youth Club (Youth Club 1988) is still going from strength to strength. They have a very busy programme of events to keep all the youngsters occupied as well as giving them the opportunity to meet up and just get together in a safe and happy place.

While on the subject of the Youth Club, my congratulations go to Joan Smith who recently received a community excellence award, I know Joan and her team have put in lots of hard work and deserve the recognition - Well done! click George & Joan Smith for more about Joan)

The Village Hall continues to remain fairly busy with all the local organisations throughout the week. If you're looking for a new hobby you may well find that it's available right on your doorstep. Alternatively, if you would like to start a new group there are a few daytime slots still on offer.

Finally, | sincerely hope you all have a Merry Christmas and here's to a prosperous and happy new year for us all.

Hallmark February 2024. Singing For The Sails. Report by Fiona Quilter-Wood

We held our second “Carols in the Carpark” event on Christmas Eve and it was lovely to be joined by so many families from the village to welcome Christmas.

As mentioned in the last edition, we decided to add some fundraising to this year’s event and monies raised were donated to the Windmill Fund. Huge thanks to Jane Herve for organising the mince pies and mulled wine, the sales of which together with donations, raised £294.50 to kick-start the fund.

Our thanks also go to the Village Hall Committee for donating the wine, to the Co-op for their kind donation of mince pies, to Clive Hodghton for loaning us his speakers and Mickey Gomm of Equus Productions for setting up the sound and lighting and making sure we had some music to sing along to!

See you again next year!
