We seem to have an abandoned car in the VH car park (No tax or MOT) so we will be reporting this for removal/disposal.

If anyone owns this car, please remove it before we do.

*** Please be aware - A hot air balloon will be at the Rec this evening at approx 6.30pm, and although it will be inflated, this time it will NOT be taking off - the crew are simply testing/airing out a new envelope (the fabric that makes it look like a balloon!).

Thanks, Village Hall Committee

Please be aware that as the evenings are now getting darker earlier and for the safety of our volunteer gatekeepers, we will now be locking the car park at 8pm (previously 9pm). It will continue to be unlocked daily by 8am.

It is with heavy hearts that we give you ADVANCE WARNING of the village hall car park being CLOSED from 8pm through to 8am for a trial period. There will still be 24 hour pedestrian access.
Over the last few weeks, it has been clear that there is continued anti social behaviour happening after dark in the car park, on the cafe patio and in the recreation ground and we therefore want to attempt to deter such behaviour before any more incidences occur.
We believe there is a strong possibility that a number of vehicles are arriving from outside the village but in the meantime, if anyone has seen any suspicious behaviour or has any information for the police, please call 101 and quote the incident number: AS-20260304-0700.
Many thanks from the Village Hall Committee.

A HUGE THANK YOU to Dan Ridge and his son for cleaning up the basketball hoop and backboard yesterday and also for fitting the new net - it hasn't looked this good in years! We hope it continues to give users many more years of enjoyment. 🏀🏀🏀

As mentioned recently, the committee have a number of projects in the pipeline that are pending the outcome of various grant applications, one of which might help us to get the car park re-surfaced which would improve things further... watch this space
