Northiam Village Voice
Well, what a great evening! The pop-up pub was teeming, and a good time was had by all! A fantastic opportunity to mingle over a good pint of beer, so thank you to all the volunteers who make this happen. There’s one more on 14th March, so make a note in your diary.
Another opportunity to meet people and have a good chat is today (Friday) with the monthly Village Hall Coffee Morning 10-12, renowned for great cakes and sausage rolls. Do pop along. The Library will be open alongside the Coffee Morning, as well as its usual slots of 2-4pm on Saturdays and Thursdays. A great range of up to date books, and lots of jigsaws. Available for any resident to register.
Sequence Dance is in the Village Hall each Friday at 2pm, with badminton in Pretious Sports Hall at 7.30pm.
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, Stretch and Tone at 10am and Table Tennis at 10.30am in the Village Hall. The Over 60s meet at 2pm for their AGM, with a quiz and making an Easter decoration.
At 7pm on Tuesday, there will be an important meeting regarding St Francis Fields. As you may be aware, the CIC committee, who have been responsible for the day to day running, are standing down on 31st March and the CIC have called this meeting of members to explain its decision.
Low Impact Fitness class on Wednesdays in the Village Hall at 9.15am run by Rother Fitness, also Yoga in the Jenkins Room at 10am and 5.30pm, with Zumba in the main Hall at 7pm, and Table Tennis Club in Pretious Sports Hall 7-9pm.

There are two Pilates sessions in the Jenkins Room at 9.45am and 11am, and the NatWest mobile Bank is in the car park 2.45-3.30pm.
Next weekend, we look forward to an interesting mix on offer. The Bonfire Society’s popular Craft Fair will be on Saturday 7th March 10am-2pm in the Village Hall with a great range of fantastic crafts. In the evening, the Kent Police Male Voice Choir will be in concert in St Mary’s Church starting at 7.30pm – just £10 for a rousing evening’s entertainment!
Sunday brings this month’s local market in the Village Hall.
Note the bridge at Newenden will be closed for three weekends from 28th February, 7am Saturday to 7pm Sunday. Unfortunately, this is not the major bridge repair, they are just working on the collison damage done to the parapet.
And – hooray – the decision has been made to hold a village pantomime once again this year! Northiam Players, in partnership with Northiam Village Hall Trust, will produce Cinderella, the most iconic and popular of all, and they’re looking for a Musical Director of this production... so if you play keyboard and read music and would like the opportunity to demonstrate your musical talents, be part of a great team (and have a lot of fun along the way), they would love to hear from you! For more info, please contact: Mike Sargeant of Northiam Players on 07785 746217 or by email [email protected]
