Northiam Village Voice
We will be celebrating Plough Sunday at St Mary’s this week, when Kate will bless a plough – and any garden tools you might like to bring along to recognise the importance of the soil in our lives.
On Monday, Fitsteps is at 9am and 6pm, with Chair Pilates at 11am and Shortmat Bowls at 2pm – all in the Village Hall. Tuesday brings Dumbells at 9am and Table Tennis at 11am in the village Hall.
There is a distinct war theme this week, with the WI hearing about Eva Braun in the Village Hall at 2pm, and the Historical & Literary Society’s talk at 7.30pm is Put that Light Out!
Yoga is on Wednesday at 10am and 5.30pm, with Zumba at 7pm, and the new Table Tennis Club in Pretious Sports Hall 7-9pm on Wednesday evenings. It’s a drop-in club for adults, so do take this opportunity to pop along and see if it’s for you! Please wear non-marking shoes. Further details from: Andy or Nerissa at [email protected], but equipment will be provided if you need it.
Thursday Seniors meet in the Village hall each week at 10.30am for chat, exercise, entertainment and good food. Call Denise 252704, 07858 145155 for details or to arrange a trial visit – transport can be arranged if needed.
There are two Pilates sessions in the Jenkins Room at 9.45am and 11am. The Library is open on Thursdays and Saturday 2-4pm, and the NatWest mobile Bank is in the car park 2.45-3.30pm.
There is a new Paint and Craft Time on Thursdays 10am-2pm in the Church Centre – opposite Douglas Moloneys. Just bring along any craft project you are working on and spend some time with like-minded people! As Marijke says, sometimes creativity can be a lonely business! To find out more, call Marijke: 07968 988 157.
Then the second Silent Cinema offering is Buster Keaton in Seven Chances in Northiam Village Hall on Thursday 15th January 3.30pm, accompanied by an original piano score from Mike Hatchard. £10.
Looking ahead, the next pop-up pub will be in the Village Hall on Saturday 24th January, the Friends of St Mary’s next Quiz is on Saturday 31st January – tables (max 8) £60 [email protected], and our new village tradition of Wassail will be on Thursday 29th January when we will process from the Village Hall to the Community Orchard to make merry and bless our apple crop. It’s a joy to celebrate our good fortune to live in such a wonderful rural environment.
