His presentation "It should have been stopped!" traces the evolution of the Lake District from its geological formation to the present day - a blend of brilliant photography and beautiful music, with commentary on man's impact on the landscape over the years and just a touch of good-natured humour. This is a treat not to be missed and again visitors are welcome to come along and enjoy the evening with us.

All are welcome to attend to discuss final details of this great community event planned for Sunday 26 May which raises funds for our village hall. JAN BLAKE!
Old Woman Don’t be beguiled by that harmless looking exterior – those twinkly eyes, the gap toothed smile, and the quaint old ways – you should never mess with a little old woman. Jan Blake gets right down to the business of what happens when we misjudge our elders. Meet the old women who aren’t so much aged, as ageless, and with the superpowers to match. Be so foolish as to underestimate them and you’ll get everything you deserve. Expect a dose of powerful geriatric magic, transformation and a good serving of comeuppance! Next meeting on Wednesday, 13 February in the Village Hall, Brigsteer at 7:30pm.
Susan Millard, author of many books on horses and ponies, will reveal the History of Cumbria's Fell Ponies. Visitors are most welcome to join us. Stealing Thunder Storytellers return to the Village Hall, Brigsteer

We have arranged a training evening to learn about and update our skills in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of the defibrillator. Lauren Watson from North West Ambulance will lead the evening which will consist of a talk followed by 'hands on' training in the technique of CPR using resuscitation dummies.
The evening has been arranged primarily for the Village Emergency Telephone Service volunteers but is open to anyone who would like to attend as it is a skill that anyone of us could be called upon to use at any time. The training is on Thursday evening 31st January at 8.00pm at the village hall To give us some idea of numbers, could you please let us know by the end of next week if you would like to come. Reply to alanandelspeth@gmail.com If we are over subscribed places will be allocated on a first come first serve basis. The Tea Shop will be open in the Village Hall next Tuesday, December 18th from 2 to 4 pm. This is a week earlier than usual because of Christmas, and, because it's Christmas, in addition to the usual tea and delicious home-made cakes, there will be mulled wine and musical entertainment from members of the Brigsteer Band.
All welcome. Do come and join us for eats, drinks, and a chat. |
