News from the Village Hall
Hello all and welcome to April’s News from the Hall. Firstly, just to clarify, Adam Tucker is not a Robbie Williams tribute act. It is actually Adam who is the singing voice of the young Robbie
Williams in the hit film ‘Better Man’ You may also remember him as a winner of a BBC Song Contest. We are so lucky to be able to book him and his band for 25th April. At only £12 a ticket, it promises to be a sellout, so make sure you have bought your tickets!
March was a busy month - not just the regular events but other bookings as well. Mick
Fisher’s evening was enjoyed by many. Good news is that the Darts Tournament is
really taking off - 13 people so far and growing - and on the lookout for new members!
Please make sure you take a moment to visit the bar and the hall soon to see all the
refurbishment that has taken place so far. Once more funds have been raised, there
will be additional improvements to make it even more attractive for holding events.
Remember that the bar and the hall can be booked by anyone at very reasonable prices
which can be tailored to your needs. And talking of the bar - opening hours are
confirmed as 12 - 6 pm every Sunday. By the time you read this, the first ‘Rock and
Roll Bingo’ will have taken place. There has already been a lot of interest in this event,
so we will let you know how it went next month.
So, back to April’s events booked so far - The Film Club Members’ Evening is on 3rd
April. As usual, there is a meal served this evening for which you need to book and the
film they will be showing is ‘Small Things Like These’ starring Cillian Murphy. The
monthly film night is on 17th April and the chosen film is ‘Conclave’, winner of four
BAFTAS and nominated 8 times at The Oscars. Bingo is on the 4th and the Bowls’ Club Bingo on the 11th. The Sunday Auctions are on 6th and 27th April, so come along and bag a bargain or ten … put 14th April in your diary to come and join Creative Arts East to learn more about writing Poetry and join in scriptwriting workshops. The Community Lunch is booked for 15th April - enjoy a great meal and good company for only £8.00! Please book your place for this through Debbie. Sam J Cook - a brilliant soul singer - is booked for 18th April. This event is free to members but if you haven’t gotten round to becoming a member - £12.50 for a year! - it will be £2.00. Just a little reminder: Social Club membership fees are due on 1st April - not a joke - but a great bargain! It all goes to maintaining/improving the bar and hall facilities and enabling
subsidising of the drinks.

what’s to come in May. We have been very fortunate to book Rowena Toledo, a

present day hits. She will be in the bar on 10th May from 8.30 pm.
