Northiam Village Voice
A large number of residents came to the church and War Memorial to mark Remembrance Sunday, and the road was gratifyingly clear of traffic this year, thanks to the road closure. It is always very moving to hear those names and, as Revd Kate said, think that those families also sat in our church pews and walked our lanes.
Each Friday there is Sequence Dance in the Village Hall at 2pm and adult badminton in Pretious Sports Hall at 7.30pm.
On Saturday (15th) the cinema in the Village Hall will be showing Downton Abbey – The Grand Finale. I expect this will be a very popular choice, especially as it only costs £5! The film starts at 7pm, with the bar etc available from 6.30pm.
Shortmat Bowls is in the Village Hall on Monday at 2pm, and the Over 60s will be visiting Blackbrooks on Tuesday.
Thursday Seniors meet in the Village Hall each Thursday from 10am, and are always ready to welcome new faces. Call Denise 01797 252704 to book your place or arrange a visit. The Library is open 2-4pm every Thursday and Satuirday, and the NatWest mobile Bank is there between 2.45 and 3.30pm.
There will be a pop-up charity shop in the Church Centre on November 22nd. Drop off for donations on the Friday, then the sale on Saturday 10.30am – 3.30pm. A great idea to recycle some toys in time for Christmas, or to make some room in your wardrobe. In aid of Family Support Work.
We look forward to the Christmas Tree Festival which marks the start of Advent on the last weekend of November. I know many village organisations are planning and making as we speak, so it should be another excellent display.
Northiam’s panto, Dick Whittington, will be in the Village Hall on Friday 12th December at 7.30pm and on Sunday 14th December at 2.30pm and 7.30pm. Tickets cost £10 for adults and £5 for children (aged 10 or under) from Eventbrite.co.uk (search for Northiam Panto), small booking fee applies – and Jempson’s Local, Northiam.
