BEFORE
Thursday Club Nights
A new idea for those shorter days
Thursday night is club night!
Over the Autumn, we are going to try running informal “themed” meetings. A rotating pattern of “Club Nights”.on different subjects.
So, each Thursday evening, from 6:30 – 8:30pm, there will be a club night. These will each be focused on a particular theme or objective and will repeat in sequence.
You can see our initial ideas for “themes” in the attached flyer, but we would love your ideas, support & feedback for other club nights you would be able to organise/run/attend once every 6-8 weeks or so.
Our first club night is planned for October and that’s currently planned to be a Computer Night night!! So, bring computer your questions!!
Tell your friends, and come along….
Current Club Night Theme Ideas:
- Games and puzzles night: come along to join in with games and puzzles or bring a game you’d like to play with someone. If you’d rather watch, that’s fine too – just come along and enjoy the company.
- Social Book night: bring your book along for a chat – it could be about the book you are reading or the weather – it’s up to you. But after a catch up, then we will read in companionable silence – well calmness with a cuppa anyway.
- Computer help night: want to learn how to send an email? Do an online shop? Get a spreadsheet to add up for you? Make your tablet/phone/computer behave better, Learn about online safety? Install anti-virus software? Come along for friendly support and advice and bring your questions! (be ready for our new B4RN broadband!).
- Paint, draw and sip: want to try your hand at drawing or painting with company? Bring along whatever equipment you have, even if it’s just some paper and a pencil, and have a try at some still life or continue working on your own masterpiece, whilst sipping on a cuppa with friends.
- Talks: An evening talk from local organisations or people with interesting stories to tell.
- Maybe a making music night (singers?, yuke players? recorders?)
- 7. A Cookery club? A Gardening Club?
Arrangements
Entry will be £2.50 per night to cover the cost of heating and refreshments.
Get in touch with any of the Trustees or Working Group members, or email booking@kabervh.com – or bring your ideas to the 2024 AGM on the 16th September.. and if you are prepared to be the organiser for a club night event, that would be really great.

The First Nine Months
Progress
We were looking at how our funds were behaving, nine months after the AGM, and the results show just how well you have done! – the Village Hall has more in the bank now than it did in September. Thank you to all the community who have supported the Hall by gifts of time, money or cooking – or just by supporting the events.
Learn More
We created a poster to provide some more detail on “the money”. You can see it if you click this link…The First Nine Months
More Events Planned
PS – the poster also talks about new events, like The Kaber Show and barbecue on 7th September, Bingo and Hot-dogs, on 6th July and plans for “club nights” on Thursdays all this alongside Craft club on Tuesdays and Coffee Mornings on the third Saturday of each month!
Well Done Kaber!
What a great community you are, this week has seen a demonstration of the many ways pulling together makes life fun…
It’s been a busy week in the village hall (and the village in general).
We had a coffee morning a week ago (Saturday morning), well attended with more than twenty arriving, and an abundant supply of cakes (it would seem that cheese scones are more popular than blueberry muffins – a surprise to the author!)
On Monday we had a Domino Drive, (very well organised by Lillian & James.) This was also well attended and according to one member of the household “it was quite competitive” – and she won a prize (although it was the “booby” prize 😢 )
Then yesterday afternoon we held a Family Bingo event run by Anne and Dan from Heggerscale, who also provided all the bingo “machinery”. I’ve never heard a quieter group of children than when Anne said “eyes down” at the start of each round. (although the arrival of the hotdogs also seemed to suppress the chattering!) Lots of prizes were won too, and it was nice to hear requests that we run another one soon!…. We might be needing a bigger hall, as it was completely packed!
Aside from lots of community spirit, these events also raised a bunch of funds for the hall. You’ll be pleased to hear that the Bingo raised £128, when added to £74.55 at the coffee morning and £107 for the dominoes evening that’s a grand total of £309.55 👏👏👏 Well done all round.
This fund raising more than paid for the new secondary double glazing we installed on the rear window – so hopefully the hall will be cheaper to heat (and warmer too)….
… and on that note; another “thank you” to Lillian for persuading Alistair Hanna from Brough to come and inspect the gas heater in the hall – it was pronounced “good”, so now we will get the old gas tank removed, and new bottles fitted and he will come back and service and commission it…
…and in yet more heat-related news, Jason Winder came and fitted additional loft insulation, so now we have the recommended 300mm – so a warm thank you Jason .
In wider news, we understand that B4RN has raised all the money needed to start on the installation of our all-fibre gigabit internet, so we will be joining the internet revolution within the year (hopefully). Thanks go to a number of volunteers around the village for making this happen, with notable mentions to Mike Bidgeway for his stoic and persistent campaigning over the years, to Liz Staley for galvanising the community into supporting the project and Julie Lane for all the work on way-leaves – well done all.
What’s Next?
Whist! With a “learn to play Whist” session on the 10th of May at 7:30pm – this time for a Brain Tumour charity – another “Fisher-related Production!”…. come and be educated, fed, raffled and maybe even a few more games of Dominoes are promised!
So, you all deserve a pat on the back, for pulling together to make fine things happen – Well Done Kaber!
An Active April – lots to do…
Well, while the weather is still somewhat variable, it seems April is shaping up to be an active month at Kaber Village Hall
So, here’s a list of activities we have planned….
| Event | Date | Notes |
| Craft Club | 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th (Tuesdays) | Open to all, an evening of chatter and crafting 6:30pm to 8:30pm, £2:50 per session |
