Bawdeswell Village Hall

Welcome

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all. As I write this it is snowing heavily outside and is bitterly cold but looks very pretty. The volunteers were due to have a meeting this morning on the first day that the hall is open after the Christmas break, but we all looked out of our respective windows and decided to stay in the warm and not risk broken limbs etc. Rest assured, any bookings will be looked after.

Well how was your Christmas. Ours was quiet as our Son in law went down with a bug so they decided to stay at home, so Lin and I had our first Christmas in 54 years on our own. By New Years eve he was a lot better and we all went down to Lin’s sister in Kent and saw the new year in down there as well as taking in a pantomime, Sleeping Beauty (Oh yes we did) at the Tonbridge Wells assembly rooms. Both journeys there and back were amazing with no hold ups at all, even through the Dartford tunnel on the way back.

So, this month we are showing the new Downton Abbey film, “The Grand Finale” on the 10th. Hope to see you all there.

Well there are still wispy bits of snow falling as I look out of my window but the sun has now emerged from behind the clouds. Whether it has enough strength to melt the snow remains to be seen.

Catch up with you all next month. Stay safe if this weather persists.

The Hall is a place for the community to be proud of. Careful thought has gone into creating a space which is flexible, welcoming and practical. With various rooms available for hire and modern facilities throughout, the Hall is a venue where local clubs and societies can meet and where special events and celebrations, both public and private, can take place. It is also a space for local businesses to use for meetings, to showcase their services and to interact with the community of Bawdeswell and the surrounding villages.
