A mixed bag in this post….
First a reminder for Thursday Night (28th November) – This weeks Thursday Club is “First Aid” night.
Brian is coming to talk about First Aid in the rural environment, Defibrillators and CPR. PLEASE come and support this event, organised by Rachel who is also training to be a first responder for Kaber.
As always there will be tea, coffee, chat, friends and THIS TIME it will be WARM!!! ..

The Gas Heater is working – Louise demonstrating it by warming her hands! Thank you to Alistair Hanna for an excellent job
The 2nd bit of news the gas heater is installed and working, so no more freezing nights at KVH… Thank you to all who helped get this done, and to Lillian for recommending Alistair Hanna who did an excellent job.
…and lastly B4RN is nearly here.... after all
The Village hall B4RN broadband box is installed – it will be working soon!!!
your fabulous support and fund raising you will have seen the B4RN vans and tractors around, some people in Kaber have had their fibre boxes installed and the Village Hall had it’s fitted on Friday – the service is provided free (as part of B4RN’s social service), and in the coming weeks we will have gigabit WiFi you can use at the Hall… So our computer clubs will get easier to run.
Computer Club: On that note; thanks to Damon (Rachel’s other half) for loaning us his 3G router for last week’s Computer Club Night (so we had WiFi in the hall), and while only 2 people came we were able to introduce one to the delights and capabilities of their iPad and some of the apps available, and help Sarah Lofthouse to make a new website for her nursery in Warcop.
So, while only having 2 people was a bit disappointing, it was an improvement on the last one, where only one person arrived! But the good news was we managed to help that person bring her Amazon tablet to life and get her connected to the Internet (much to the amazement of one of her family who had given up on ever getting the device to work)…. So, bring along that thing that never does what you want, and let us help you make use of it!
Thurs Club & Social Nights Schedule
Club and Social Night Thursdays
A new idea for those shorter days
Over the Autumn, we are going to try running informal “themed” meetings. A rotating pattern of “Club and Social Nights” on different subjects. So, Each Thursday evening, from 6:30 – 8:30pm, there will be a club night – these will have a theme, but also just be a social night for chatting with refreshments.
Club & Social Nights will repeat in a reasonably regular sequence.
The plans for the rest of Autumn are as follows:
| Date | Topic |
| 17th October | Talk night: Come and join us to hear about … and then stay for a chance to chat with friends. (This time: “Making a steamboat in the fells”) |
| 24th October | Games and puzzle night: Bring a favourite game or puzzle, or simply come along and join in. |
| 31st October | NO CLUB NIGHT due to the local elections. |
| 7th November | Art night: Bring your own project or come and join in with the activities on the night – no talent required! |
| 14th November | Air Fryer Demonstration: Looking for ideas for recipes for your air fryer or deciding if one is for you? Join us for inspiration. |
| 21st November | Make friends with your smartphone: Want to know about how something works or how to make best use of your smartphone? Join us! |
| 28th November | Talk night: topic TBC… do you have a talk you could give |
| 5th December | Domino Drive: Just Dominoes and chat |
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 if you have any ideas or would like to run an evening.
