EXTON ROCKS!
Or - a little bit of Extonbury in the night!

Join us on 13 November for a long awaited reminder of everything that made Extonbury the special occasion it was. We have great music spanning the genres, fantastic food offerings and a raffle with prestige prizes, all in aid of two of the most worthy local causes ever.

Doors open at 7.00 then from 7.30 we have a set from the amazing Herb T. Bagg and the Infusions. Born out of Extonbury regulars The Smokestack Blues Band, the guys will bring us a set of finely crafted acoustic blues with a folky vibe. Their songs are mostly self penned and as clever as they are bouncy, with stories set in deepest Rutland - check out their single Jenny Be Careful here https://youtu.be/rGWWFKVVH0A

After the first set we'll have supper, followed by the raffle with fabulous prizes donated by our brilliant supporters.

And then we finish the night with a rocking set from Dazed & Confused. Born out of the ashes of The Extones, the band deliver an awesome set of tunes from the 70s through to the 90s and beyond. Come up & see them, they'll make you smile! Here's a sample of a blistering Billy Idol tune from Stamford's Rock on the Rec

As with Extonbury, all performers, food providers and raffle donators are doing this totally free of charge, with all net proceeds split between the playground development and church organ restoration funds. This is a ticket only event as space is limited, so it's strictly first come first served. Entry is £15 per person, bag your tickets now from www.exton-village-hall.com!

PETITION TO STOP THE VILLAGE HALL WASTE REMOVAL CHARGE
As many will already know, in late July Rutland County Council announced to village halls across the county that we would be charged for the emptying of our bins as from 1 September. The charge the council intend to make us pay to continue the alternating fortnightly collection of black & grey bins is £728 per year, payable in advance. The management teams of our halls feel this is at best a misguided change in approach, and one that most traditional halls run entirely by volunteers simply cannot afford. We do not want to pass this cost onto our hall users and risk making our services unaffordable. Halls provide vital affordable spaces for local activities, events, clubs and organisations, bringing people in the community together for the betterment of physical and mental well being. We believe the significant social and community value provided by village halls should be recognised when waste collection arrangements are determined.

In response to this situation we are asking the council to reconsider this policy, and to aid us in this we are undertaking a petition raising signatures across the county in support. You may already have signed as we've had a terrific response but if not and you would like to support us please let us know in the comments, send a message or just contact Mark, Kiloran or Bernie and we'll get a form round to you.

Entry is just £6 including free raffle, you can bring your own drinks & snacks & settle in to enjoy a great film with friends, all just a short walk from any Exton residence. Pay on the door, card or cash!
