Carols Round the Village

Picture of Victorian Christmas

It’s one sleep before carols round the village. Listen out for singing and when the knock at the door comes give us a smile and make sure you have some change for the bucket. All proceeds to Hope House.

Thos of you who are coming to sing (a good singing voice is helpful but not essential) then we meet at the Village Hall at 18:30 before setting off round the Village.

We should be back at the Village Hall around 21:00 and then there are mince pies and sausage rolls. I’m sure one or two will allow themselves a little warming tot of something from the Highlands – a bit of a tightener – to round off the evening.

New Year’s Eve – Have You Paid For Your Tickets?

An important request from the organising committee for the New Year’s Eve celebration at the Village Hall.

If you have asked for tickets to be kept then you MUST confirm and pay for them as soon as possible.

Numbers for catering are vital and the last thing we want is people saying that they want tickets and then not turning up at the last minute or people turning up at the last minute and not having tickets.

 

We Are Counting Down to Carols round the Village

Only three days to go! You should have had your leaflet and hopefully you will be listening and looking out for the village carollers Friday night. Have lots of change at the ready and be prepared to give generously to our annual gift to Hope House Children’s Hospice.

For those of you who will be giving of your voices we gather at the Village Hall at 6:30. From there we will go to St Peter’s Close followed by:

  • Station Road
  • Green Bank
  • Rectory Lane down the hill
  • Rectory Lane up the hill
  • Meadow Bank
  • The Houses on the front
  • Corbett Drive
  • Back to the Village Hall

We can’t stop at every house so we will try and pick a spot to suit as many people as possible. Volunteers to carry buckets and knock on doors should make yourselves known on the night.

 

So! Who Did Build The Best Snowman?

Clearly the talents of Adderley know no bounds – brilliant snowmen built this weekend. Well done everybody. As promised we have a gallery of the winners and runners up which will be pinned to the top of the website for the next few days.

The Biggest, at least height wise, was Harry’s 5’2” snowman

The Smallest, with the most details, was The Dutton’s gymnast

The most unusual was tied between The Smale’s and Jos Parsons’ (Sorry guys we couldn’t split them so share the honours)

Honourable mentions to Diana Rosie and Val Nash.

We hope everybody enjoyed themselves.

Who Is Good at Making a Snowman?

We have snow in Adderley! and the weather forecast is for more snow tomorrow! So make a snowman. Take a photograph then put it on the Adderley Village Facebook page by 7:00 pm Sunday Night, 10th December.

Adderley Village Facebook Page

There are three categories:

  • Biggest Snowman (don’t forget to measure it!)
  • Smallest Snowman (with the most detail)
  • Most Unusual Snowman/Sculpture (you decide what’s unusual)

Winners will get their pictures posted on the banner of the Village Facebook Page and Village website with full credit to you.
