A little more information for those interested in coming along to the Christmas Party at the village hall on the 15th Dec. - in addition to the live bar there will also be some buffet music and a licensed supper - have I got that right? Check the flyer to be sure!

Activity over the past week at the village hall has heightened as the project nears completion. The plumbing is finished, the electrical work is all but done and on Friday the floors were being laid. The new kitchen will be fully installed during the coming week leaving a short list of bits and pieces, the largest of which is the new floor in the meeting room. For all those eager to cast a critical eye over the completed project there are some upcoming events planned.

There have been times over the past few years when the village hall committee wondered whether they would ever secure the funding necessary to carry out this major work, and with the hall so close to completion I think the village must surely be proud of the hard work and sheer man-hours volunteered by the committee members. Now there's something to toast at the Christmas Party!

Following on from the success of their first book, Blaxhall's Living Past, Blaxhall Archive Group's companion DVD is to be launched on Saturday 17th November at 12 noon in the Ship Inn. The event will continue until 3pm and copies of the book, DVD and a new limited edition calendar will be available.
