Puddings & Prosecco Evening
Nice Place to Be – Looking Back and Thinking Ahead
Tea and biscuits anyone? We’re having a get together on Sunday 16th April and you are invited to join us for tea, biscuits and chance to meet, greet and catch up with what Nice Place To Be has been doing.
Nice Place To Be came about during the pandemic lockdown. A few willing volunteers organised things to do outside. Treasure trails, scarecrow trails, stone hunts not forgetting Santa and Mrs Santa; a chance to be outdoors with your close contacts and, when rules allowed, nearest family.
As the pandemic restrictions came to an end an opportunity presented itself and Geoff Butter’s amazing historical collection came to Adderley looking for a new home. We needed to apply for a Lottery grant but Lottery grants need organisations to deliver and so Nice Place To Be became a thing. We created a constitution, rescued the Adderley Community Fund from Barclays Bank and the Adderley Heritage Trail was born.
On Sunday 16th April Nice Place To Be is just about 12 months old and we want to share what we have been doing: progress on the Heritage Trail, coffee mornings, Mr and Mrs Santa’s visit, Easter Egg Hunt, Big Breakfast……. it’s been a busy year.
Nice Place to Be is about what you want in your community so please come along with ideas about what you would like to see happening in Adderley.
So, why not join us in the Village Hall on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 pm for a cup of tea/coffee and some biscuits and find out what’s been happening behind the scenes.

Update from the Easter Bunny – Change of Plan
Dear All
Sadly, the request yesterday to older children to stop taking the Easter eggs from the nests leaving nothing for the young children was ignored. My rabbit friends tell me that they are still taking the eggs from The Green, playground and main road area.
Sadly, with all the stolen eggs we have had to replace, we have run out of eggs early and we wont have enough to replace the eggs after this morning.
But don’ worry, we have a cunning plan!! It means you can still have fun doing the trail if you haven’t already. In each hiding place you will find a white stone with a number on it. DO NOT REMOVE THE STONE FROM THE HIDING PLACE. Write down the number on your clue sheet next to that clue and when you have finished, PUT YOUR NAME AND A CONTACT NUMBER ON YOUR SHEET AND POST IT AT Willow Lodge on Green Bank and I and my friends will collect your form and deliver an easter egg or chocolate to you when I get some fresh supplies.
Hope you have fun and so sorry that you wont have chocolate to eat on the way round, but hope you will enjoy solving my clues anyway.
Best wishes
The Easter Bunny
Easter Eggs Trail? One is not enough for some
The Easter Egg Trail is very popular, but unfortunately its a little too popular with a small group of children who decided to eat ALL the eggs from a number of sites repeatedly yesterday leaving none for those who followed them. The Easter Bunny knows who it is.
The trail is for fun, for little children to enjoy. By eating all the eggs you are depriving them of that pleasure. The Easter Bunny doesn’t want to have to speak to your parents so please make sure you leave the eggs for those who are doing the hunt for the rest of the weekend.
Parents may like to check in with their children to discuss this.
Easter Egg Hunt – Friday 7th April – Monday 10th April
Hello there! Glad you are joining us on the Trail. Hope you have lots of fun but remember to be very careful crossing the road and only go with a grown-up/responsible person, not on your own. You may find the odd easter egg on the trail if you are very good at clues, but please don’t be greedy, just take one for yourself and leave the rest for those who may come next. The Easter Bunny

Stop Press – He’s arrived!
Yes, its true. Peter is down at the Book Shelter. He says to let you know he’ll be there til Monday evening if you want to pop and see him, and he and the Easter Bunny have been very busy with a team of rabbits from all over, setting up the Easter Egg Hunt. There will be eggs in all sorts of strange places just waiting for you to find them.
Its looking pretty good, so you only have two sleeps to get your thinking head on ready to work out the clues to do the Hunt. Clue sheets will be in the Book Shelter early on Friday morning or you can download them here from 6.30am Friday morning and use them on your phone.
Happy Hunting Adderley!
Happy Easter from Adderley Tots
