A huge thank you to everyone who came to our Family Memories Day today!
We’ve been absolutely blown away by the number of people who came along to look through the photos, reminisce, enjoy a cuppa and a slice of cake. ☕️ 🍰

The raffle was a huge success, and Sponsor a Slate has gone off the scale! It’s still running, so keep an eye out for more updates. 🏠

The children’s area was also a big hit, with traditional fete games, plenty of playing and, of course, ice creams! 🍦 Thanks to all the guys and gals out in the garden who held their own, donating the prizes and their time.

A massive thank you to our Village Hall Committee, all the wonderful volunteers and everyone who donated raffle prizes. We truly couldn’t have done it without you.
I’ll be doing another post to personally thank everyone who helped make the day so special.
Without our community, none of this would be possible.

Thank you all so much — and now I’m off to sit down with a well-earned G&T! 🍸

Not your standard cobweb brush.

One person, one very long pole, and a ceiling that definitely wasn’t going to clean itself!
The outside got a brush down too

Getting ready for our fundraiser on bank holiday monday, 1 til 4.

We are offering everyone the opportunity to 'Sponsor a Slate' for £10 from the castle acre village hall roof.

If you would like you to Sponsor a Slate you would need to go to our just giving page and leave the name or message you'd like on your slate in the comments. Maybe you would dedicate it to a loved one who used the hall in the past, maybe you got married here, the ideas are endless!

When the tiles are off, that message will be written in white permanent marker pen and placed back on the roof.
Your slate and message will be put into a book that will stay in the hall and also made available online for future generations to examine.

If you'd rather speak to someone or pay cash then message the page and one of us can sort that for you.

A survey has revealed many problems with the old roof over the east end of the hall. Tiles slipping, felt falling apart, water getting in, timbers rotting, insect infestation and no insulation. Repairs are urgent - we need your help.
