Events, Spuds & Puddings

Leave a reply
Quiz Night Food

Just a quick reminder that the next “do” at the hall is a Spuds & Puds Lunch on the 29th November (from Noon to 1:30pm) – it’s just £7:50 a head including coffee or tea, or you can bring your own drinks (I think Chardonnay is good with Baked potatoes!!!).

Assorted fillings for the baked spuds of course and a variety of puddings too – what’s not to like!

Come and enjoy some good winter food and company.

Check the Website for other upcoming events

We circulated a list of planned events a month or so back, but if you have lost that poster, then just check the website to see all the currently planned events from now to September 2026!!!!

Well, that looks better…

We have finished the outside work on the Hall (except for some waterproofing in the spring) and I am struck how much better it looks, with restored stone work, refurbished door, new outside lights and new signs.

Considerable thanks to Joe Hird (hirdstonemasons.com) for some excellent work.

Take a look….

Please put this date in your diary – or correct it if you had copied the original date down!!!.

Well that went well!

Huge Thanks to all the Community who contributes entries, attended or helped with the event.  Well Done! We were even blessed with sunshine.

Sarah L deserves a special vote of thanks as the person who masterminded all the organisation and did most of the pre-event work and organised food and everything. …and a thank-you to the Heggerscale crew from “up the hill” for lending their tent and barbecue that they had clubbed together to make/buy,…

Congratulations to the winners – a great selection, demonstrating the skills in the community…. and especially to Val Walton for being overall winner and continuing a long tradition of the Waltons competing and winning!

Here are the results for each class (<<<click to view)

Kaber Show: Have your say

This year’s Kaber Show will be on the 6th September (barring complications) building on the success of last year’s event. and the great support of the community with many entries in almost 30 classes.

But, it’s always possible to make it even better, so next Monday (9th June at 7:30pm) we are holding a meeting to start the planning process for this year.

If you have ideas on how to improve it, or want to organise something, or just provide feedback on last year’s show; then come along and have your say.

Trophies

We also have a box of trophies from previous shows, many for livestock classed which are no longer part of the show, and we need to decide what to do with them. So, for example, if you have an idea on what to do with a “Best Gimmer Hog Rose-bowl” trophy (assign it to a new class, sell it, reclaim it as your family’s heirloom, or anything else) please do come and help us decide.

See you next Monday!
