CHANGES DUE TO CORONAVIRUS
Women's Institute Our formal meetings will restart in September. Visitors are welcome on Sept 13th from 8pm and on October 11th/November 8th for a 7.30pm start. Don’t be shy, come and meet the WI! Try before you join. See the WI blog for what we’ve been up to.
Memorial Hall Usual activities (plus new ones) are gradually returning. Click here to see the latest activities. The Hall's 100 club has normally run from March until December each year. Last year we decided to suspend the club due to the complications of contacting members under the Covid restrictions. We will review the situation from time to time and let people know when we decide to re start. In normal times the club is a significant help towards your Hall's running costs as well as providing a little boost for the winners so we hope when the time comes as many of you as possible will support us.
