THERE IS NO CAR BOOT SALE THIS MAY. THE NEXT SALE IS 10th JUNE.
Exeter Drama Company’s ‘Brush up on your Shakespeare’ was great fun but also informative and, in parts, moving. Look forward to seeing them back again soon.
TADS’ ‘Sherlock’s Excellent Adventure’ was, as usual, a great production, which received rave reviews. Well done TADS!
Car Boot Sale 15 April
April showers! But at least we have the hall to retreat into, and the bacon baps tasted even better.
Easter Bingo
This was another fantastic evening with a ‘Full House’ once more!
‘Brush up on your Shakespeare’
The new date!!!! Saturday 28 April. Hope everyone who bought tickets last time can make it but if not please contact John Hodge to arrange re-fund on 01392 860088 or hallticketsales@gmail.com.
Unfortunately the Shakespeare had to be postponed due to snow.
Wow, look at the 2018 programme at the Hall!. There must be something for everyone…old favourites like the Holly Ball and new like the Beach Party. Other events are in the pipeline. So why not put these in your diaries and perhaps plan to go with a group of friends or come along and make new ones. On top of all this don’t forget the Saturday Market and Big Breakfast on the 2nd Saturday of every month except January.

The Xmas Bingo was a sell out, we had to keep setting out new tables and chairs. Great fun had by all. Sorry there is no photo but everyone who should have been taking photos had their eyes down!
The tree lighting ceremony, carol singing and disco were all greatly enjoyed. Even Santa put in an appearance.
An excellent Craft Fair again this year. Lots of stalls and lots of people; shopping, eating and definitely chatting! I thought I would add a photo of the workers. Did you try the scones? They were the best!
The Family Halloween disco was well attended and great fun. Thank you to the Committee members and others who worked so hard to make this a lovely annual community event. PS the caped witch you saw casting spells everywhere… well that was me!
The Car Boot Sale on 15 October was a sell out with 17 cars. I found my granddaughter’s Barbies! There will be no more till March but remember to come along then. You might find just what you are looking for as I did.
Car Boot Sale 10 September
Following the popular success of the August Car Boot Sale we are having a September Car Boot Sale. As well as Tea and Coffee, we now have Bacon Baps! You just can’t miss it!
WiFi
The Hall now has WiFi! A recent wedding used it to live stream the reception to family in Australia. It is going to prove a valuable addition to the great facilities offered by the Hall.
A very good car boot sale tho I just missed the Barbie set that my granddaughter would have loved! Next time I shall get there earlier! Lots of local people with tables. Think about getting a table yourself next time. Come and buy, it is definitely worth it.
Fun Day 8 July 2017
A really lovely village occasion! The weather was fine, lots of people came, the food was great (especially the bacon baps!), there was lots to buy and do for all ages, and the Dog Show was a very enjoyable event. We did need more entrants for the Craft Competition. Do think about entering next year.

Summer Ball As good as last year and that is saying something! There was a good balance between quiet music when everyone could chat and catch up then the music really took off and everyone danced. Thank you Rude Awakening for an excellent evening.
The Pie and Quiz night. A very successful event both noisy and competitive! A friend who hates quizzes and was forced to go said he had had a great time! Thank you all the behind scenes workers for all your hard work and for Colin Marshall in particular for directing the event, being quiz master and devising the quiz. A very good evening!

Another ‘Full House’ for a fun evening of Bingo with ‘Five Dozen’ players.
Sunday 4th December 2016
The Tree Lighting Ceremony was again a lovely village occasion, lots of people munching mince pies, drinking mulled wine and counting down to the lighting moment. All the trees in the village make it look v festive.
And the Bingo…well you can see there was a full house of eyes v much down. A very enjoyable evening.
The Hall Committee is very grateful to everyone who so generously gave their help at these and all the other events throughout the year. Thank you too, to everyone who came to the Hall for whatever reason. It is your Hall, we are so glad that you used it.
Merry Christmas everyone and a happy and peaceful 2017!
Saturday 26th November
The 007 Ball was a real success. The Hall was full of glamorous villagers dressed up to the nines. There were even a couple of Pussy Galores! Thank you everyone who came for entering into the spirit of things. The Hall was perfectly decorated (thank you Colin) to catch the Bond motif. The first part of the evening was a cheerful hub of voices backed by Bond music but then Rude Awakening got most of us on the floor and even a few of us on the stage to sing! All in all an excellent evening. Maybe to be repeated as a Summer Ball. Watch this space.

Craft Fair, how good was that! There were lots of stalls including beautiful rocking horses (really wanted one of those), Xmas decorations, jewellery. clothes and lots more. I came away with a bag full! Also stomach full as we had lunch there. If you didn’t eat there, you missed a treat. Well done and thank you to everybody involved, those with stalls, those who helped and, of course, those who came and bought. A most successful day.
