Well, we had a very good burst of village activity last weekend, with a fantastic Craft Fair in the Village Hall (what talent there is out there!) and a most enjoyable keyboard recital from David Ruddock. Thanks to everyone for supporting these events.

This Saturday, we keep up the momentum with the fantastic Showtimers’ The Fab 50’s & Swinging 60’s Show. All the great family fun we have come to expect from Showtimers. For tickets phone 01797 252395 or go hi-tech at www.ticketsource.co.uk/showtimers. Doors open at 7pm, with curtain up at 7.45pm. I’ve seen some of the preparations, and we are in for a treat!

If you can’t make 27th, there are further performances on Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th May. Come along and have a really good night out, whether you remember those decades or not, there’s so much to enjoy. There will be a licensed bar and complimentary refreshments – and the Village Hall benefits.
