Canadian Duane Forest takes us on an acoustic journey through the roots of reggae to the global influence of Bob Marley
The village hall AGM is to be held on the 10th August at 7.30pm; an agenda, a copy of last year's minutes and the accounts for 2025 will be sent out in due course. This meeting provides an opportunity for us to explain what has been done and what is planned for the hall and for you to understand the finances - it is a good news story! The formalities are kept to a minimum so there is an opportunity to ask questions. There have been many new arrivals in the village over the past year and it would be good to meet you.
It is important that the hall continues to meet local needs - if you have suggestions about what we could or should be doing, the AGM is an opportunity to let us know. It is also an opportunity to get more involved. We are always looking for help. Our board of trustees meets four or five times year. We are always keen to involve new people in the team. If you are interested please contact me here for more information - [email protected]. If being a trustee seems to be a big step, there are other roles we are keen to fill. For example we need assistance with our health and safety regime - there is a good process in place but we need someone to take over the management of it. Organising our programme of concerts is another role that needs support. Many of you will have attended activities at the hall over the past year but it only continues to work effectively if people engage and contribute- so please join us.

This is a collection of new material that lifts the lid on some of the most funny and challenging moments of his unconventional career path.

Dear all,
This is a quick reminder of the next open WI meeting this coming Wednesday 12th November at 8pm. Luke Steer, local arboriculturalist, will talk to us about the Langdale Tree Story. All are welcome. Cost £4 to include tea and cake. Hope to see you there. Regards, Eve Templeton
 16 strings, 8 dancing feet and 4 voices in 1 hilarious electrifying show! Graffiti Classics are a comedy string quartet who never sit down, bursting the perceived elitist boundaries of classical music with their all-singing, all-dancing musical comedy show.
Wickedly funny, the group energetically leap and clown their way through an eclectic musical landscape from Beethoven to Elvis, all virtuosically accompanied on their instruments. This group is on a mission: to make classical music irresistibly fun. This isn’t a classical concert - it's a crazy mix of musical comedy, gypsy-folk, opera, bluegrass, stand-up comedy and dance, all tied together with cheeky audience interaction. Our next WI open meeting will be a presentation of TV Memories of Westmorland and Cumberland. Our speakers, Jim Bownass and Andrew Leitch, used to work for BBC and Border TV and now run the Cumbria Film Archive, a huge library of rare films from the area. They will focus their talk on information from our locality.
New members and visitors are welcome from 8pm. Admission cost is £4 to include tea and cakes. Call Sue Griffiths on 07718 904082 or Liz Threadgold on 07894 710014 for more information. Hope to see you there! |
