Thank you to everyone who took the time to come along, over the weekend, to help with the maintenance days.

We achieved so much, had a good laugh and ate a load of biscuits!

• We cleared gutters
• Cleared all the growth at the back of the hall
• Painted the front door
• Freshened up the bench at the front of the hall
• Made safe some of the slates on the steeple

We started patching up the rotting wood at the bottom of the main windows but quickly realised they need more work than our skills can offer. We’ll be looking at how best to address this but meantime we’ve started at least to make them watertight. Thanks as well for the loan of tools and ladders etc. Every bit helps!

It doesn’t just need to be volunteering days. If you  spot something that needs doing and feel you could tackle, please let me or any member of the committee know.

The Village Hall is our hall and its our job to look after it! If you’d like to help out in any way please feel free to join one of our regular meetings. We’ll be posting when the next one is on the village website.

Many thanks

Lee Robertson and the Village Hall Committee

Thanks to everybody who attended this event in Whittinghame yesterday, and contributed to the magnificent £1560 which was raised.

SEEDS will shortly be available for children to plant, to enter into the Village Show.

• Under 5s: cress (for egg shell ‘cress heads’) – these just take a couple of weeks
• 5-12: dwarf sunflowers ‘Teddy Bear’ – these need to be planted soonish (late April/mid May) – A great Easter holiday project

I will put these in a ‘seeds tin’ at the village hall noticeboard at the start of Easter break. Please help yourself.

Here is the Show schedule, which you can also find on the GHS page of the website (hard copies to follow):
