Northiam Village Voice
A new venture, a pop-up charity shop, will be taking donations today, Friday, with the Sale on Saturday 22nd, 10.30am – 3.30pm in the Church Centre, opposite Douglas Moloneys – park in the surgery car park. So a great way to recycle clothes, gifts, toys etc in aid of Family Support Work.
Each Friday there is Sequence Dance in the Village Hall at 2pm and adult badminton in Pretious Sports Hall at 7.30pm. Shortmat Bowls is in the Village Hall on Monday at 2pm.
Sunday is the traditional day to make your Christmas puddings – known as Stir-up Sunday. I have finally found a recipe which doesn’t require me to use stout, which is a great relief after all these years! But, fear not, I can promise a last-minute speedy Christmas pudding recipe in December’s Parish Magazine, just in case you aren’t channelling your inner Victorian country house cook!
On Tuesday, the St Francis Fields Land Management Committee meets in the Jenkins Room at 7pm. This is a public meeting with representatives from the Parish Council and CIC.
In the main Village Hall, the Historical and Literary Society will be hearing about the women’s Land Army and their contribution to wartime food production. Open to all, the talk starts at 7.30pm.
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 Saturday, and the NatWest mobile Bank is there between 2.45 and 3.30pm.
On Thursday, people will be setting up their Christmas tree creations in time for the Christmas Tree Festival in St Mary’s church on Friday 28th, Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th November and marks the start of Advent. This was such a great event last year, so I am looking forward to seeing how talented the rest of you are.
This month’s Village Hall Coffee Morning will be on Friday 28th 10-12, and the Bonfire Society’s Quiz is next Saturday. It’s all hotting up, with lots to do in the run-up to Christmas. Not least, Northiam’s panto, Dick Whittington, which 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 Jempson’s in Northiam and will be available at the Coffee Morning as well as on Eventbrite.
