A Nice Place To Be
Did you miss the last coffee morning? Can you make the next one? If you can we’d love to see you.
The last time we all got together it was just amazing. Lot’s of chat, lots of smiles and lots of cake Did you know cake is a food group? Yes, and it’s also one of your five a day – who knew?
So why not pop along on Saturday 25h February at 10:30; meet, greet, gossip and have a cup of tea and a piece of cake all for just £2.00.
Phil Gadd has been raising money for a Ukraine charity through various events. He’s organised a music event for February 26th in Adderley Village Hall. This is an event for all of the family with live music, fun & games and food. Put the date in your diary.
You may be aware that our village hall is not in the best of shape and needs a considerable investment to bring it to the standard we would all like to see so that it can be used to its full potential.
Before we make any investment we need to understand what the fabric of our current building is really like and exactly what is required to ensure it is structurally sound and fit for purpose. As we consider potential projects we would like to understand what people would like from their community building in the future so that it can be considered in the design.
Do you have the skills we might need?
To ensure inclusion and effectiveness we would like to set up a working group with the appropriate skills and experience. The Village Hall Committee is very small and we know that we do not have all the skills required to make the most of this exciting opportunity.
With that in mind we are asking everyone in the village if they have, or know someone who has, the following skills or expertise that could join a small working group. Whether you are retired or working, but feel able to volunteer a few hours of your time every month, we would like to hear from you if you:

We have had a lovely letter from Hope House Hospice thanking us for the donation from the Carol Singing around the village. We thought you might like to see it. Thank you again to all who took part or listened to us warbling our way around the village.
Well, what a lovely morning was had by all yesterday at the monthly coffee morning. We had 27 people turn out to enjoy it. Our chief cooks and bottle washers Maria, Emma and Beth did us proud with a lovely selection of cakes and Chris and Hilary brought and arranged some lovely jars of flowers to bring a bit of Spring into the room. Beth only moved into the village in November so it was lovely that she offered to help out and to meet and talk to her partner John.
But best of all, was the people and the conversations and general buzz around the room. Sometimes its just nice to get out and have a chat, and the last Saturday of every month is the place to do it in Adderley. We took £60.45 which was marvellous. This money goes into the Community Fund Bank account and people from the village will decide how it is used to provide for the community.
Come and join us for the February one, Sat 25th Feb, 10.30 – 12 and lush cakes, coffee and good conversation along with a warm welcome are all guaranteed.
If you would like to get more involved in supporting or attending community events why not ask us to add your name to the Community Whats App Group we have set up for Nice Place to Be volunteers? We currently have 30 people who share info about events, ask for help with events or contribute/volunteer their time to support on the app. You would be very welcome.
