Brede Village Hall AGM: was on Thursday 19 January and more than usual turned up for it. The Chairman is now Rod Came, The Secretary remains Sheila Bristow as does the post of The Treasurer David Ames. Grateful thanks were recorded for Philip Romani who has chaired the committee for many many years. There are still two committee posts to fill and if anyone in the community feels that they would like to attend the six meetings a year please contact Sheila 01424 882262. From the meeting we found 3 volunteers to alter the cupboards in the kitchen to house the new 60 place dinner settings and cutlery. There is more; as the luncheon club have kindly offered to pool theirs with the Village Hall so that we have in excess of 150 places. This makes the Hall well placed for weddings, christenings and funerals. The recent Canada Barn Dance was a huge success for the fundraising efforts in aid of the Scouts Canadian trip and the Hall management was pleased that the Hall was left really clean which apparently is rare. It has been decided that £150 will be a deposit for bookings at the Hall that are not regular and any breakages or late evening departures over running their time will have money deducted from this. The new hire costs will run from April and will be in the Newsletter. To book the hall still contact Carol Kynvin 01424 882123 soon in the future you will be able to book on line when the Village Hall becomes attached to the Parish Council Website and Gill Stone will be taking care of those bookings. The AGM took 10 minutes the meeting after a bit longer and the tables were set up for the Farmers Market before everyone went home.

Friday 27 January: Brede farmers Market was quite busy when I arrived. George was selling fresh fish just inside the door, but the poor lady selling kindling wood and logs was frozen standing outside. Lindy’s home made chocolates are always hard to pass by as is Mary’s fresh bread and rolls. There is also Will’s bakery stall and this week a cake one too. I whizzed to Pete’s stand to buy apple juice. to Charlie’s grocery stand where I bought some wonderfully fresh tasting carrots and other bits before retracing my steps to buy some rolls and as I was walking out the door I remembered mum in law’s birthday and she liked ginger so back I went to Lindy, who put it in a little carrier bag. I was very pleased. Do pop in and see for yourselves the delights that are within
