Well Done Adderley!

The Christmas Carols Round The Village raised an astonishing £370 this year for Hope House! Wowzers! This was one of our best year’s so far so an enormous thank you to the hardy few who tramped the streets in the cold and the dark and brought a little Christmas cheer – not always tunefully – to the lovely residents of Adderley.

An extra thank you this year to the people of Adderley Barns who made us so welcome and treated us to mince pies and mulled wine as well as giving so generously. A further thank you to John Fishburn and his family who once again gave us Christmas cheer in a glass of port. We also had chocolates in Green Bank and homemade wines and cake from Hugh in Corbett Drive.

A final thank you to Adderley Village Hall and the bar volunteers who gave us mince pies and welcome respite at the end of the evening.

Special Quiz Night on Thursday 21st November

Lymphona Action Logo

The Adderley Village Hall Committee have again very kindly agreed to let us hi-jack the regular Village Quiz Night on Thursday 21st November 2019.

As usual the main object of the evening is to ridicule the Quiz Master and eat as much cheese as possible whilst raising money for a charity.

This year we are raising money for Lymphoma Action, the UK’s only charity dedicated to Lymphoma, the fifth most common cancer.   

Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer which can affect anyone at any age including children.  It is usually treatable.

Our target is £500.

Strictly teams of four. £5 per person to include a substantial Ploughman’s Supper. Joseph Heler provide the cheese so there is always plenty of it.  

Quality Raffle

Remember, Adderley Village Hall has a licensed  bar.  As we are getting the hall at a very much reduced rate it is only fair that we support the bar so please do not bring your own drinks and glasses.  The fun starts at 7.30 p.m.

No need to buy tickets – just book your team in with me – contact details below

Hope to see you there

Great Night at Monday’s Harvest Supper

Monday’s Harvest Supper was a great fund raiser for St Peters. This annual event provided a very sociable evening with the volunteers providing everybody with great food.

As usual Ken Greetham aided and abetted by Simon and Brian led an entertaining and spirited auction and together with ticket sales an amazing £1600was raised for St Peters. Well done one and all and a special thank you both the the amazing volunteers behind the scenes and everybody who gave produce and gifts for the auction as well as  those who dug deep into their pockets to buy them.

 

We Need Your Help

The speed sign has disappeared from Green Bank! It’s in for repair. It’s been damaged by persons unknown.

I don’t think that there is any doubt that the speed sign has been a great asset in our fight to get people driving sensibly through Adderley both on Green Bank and on the A529. Not only does it provide a reminder to drive within the speed limit but it has provided us with the necessary statistics to underpin our argument for  better road design and road improvements through the village.

Unfortunately this is, by it’s very nature, a vulnerable piece of equipment and it has been damaged by somebody trying to rip off the solar panel that keeps it charged. They failed but in the process they have damaged the connections. 

We need your help. Please, keep an eye open for people acting suspiciously and messing around with the sign (when it returns). Simply call the police and let’s see if we can stop this and protect our sign. 

A quick heads up for Simon Cornwall who is repairing the sign as you read this. Many thanks Simon.
