The plan was to cycle  to Castle Combe for The Lardy Cake Fair. But this has hit a  snag:   there is  no Lardy Cake  Fair this year. 

The Landlord at the White Hart told me they had had Combe Day in May  this year instead.  He said it was  a good event  as there was no riff raff  from Hullavinngton to spoil it.  Still there ....................(more)

Open Days at the New Village Hall. (updated 15 Aug)

Tuesday 15th Aug. Is last opportunity to pop in on the hall open days.  Come along for a coffee/tea and have a look around at the displays and, this evening from 7 pm, you can drop in and see what the art group do. The art group also have some of their paintings on display and for sale.  I was surprised just how much talent there is in the village; you just can't help but be impressed.   But Liz Parry-Williams tells me anyone can do it you just have to be taught how to.  Last night we had a a number of people pop in to try the line dancing and the short mat bowls. It was a good evening.  Click HERE to see photos taken over the 5 days.  If anyone has any  more photos we can add to the collection, please send me a copy.

So far we have had a good response with many people coming along to see the hall and to attend the evening events. The Rock of Life band drew a large audience as did the rock band Undone. There have also been new initiatives from  the visitors: a film club has been started, a number of people are trying to start up a ballroom dancing  class, others a poetry  group.  A keep fit group will be starting in September and, if there is enough interest,  there may be two sessions per week.  If you are interested in any of these groups or any of the already established groups using the hall: art group, short mat bowls, line dancing, then  you can find the details on the hall notice board.  I'll also post more details of the  old and new groups activity programmes on this website over the next couple of days. So watch this space.

Dave Hunt  prepared a  presentation  showing the history of the 3 halls that have stood on the current site from the " Old Tin Hut" to the hall we have today.  I now have a copy of it and with Dave's consent I'll  include it on the web site in the next few days. It i proved very popular particularly  amongst  people who've lived in the village a long time. There was also a short video taken by Hugh Greenman  of the old burnt out have taken a couple of days after the fire on a depressingly cold, wet and windy March say.  We need to get him to come a long and make a video of the new hall so that we see can  bring the visual history up-to-date

The new Hullavington village hall is now finished and  to celebrate its re-opening a 5 day period has been set aside from Friday 11th August to Tuesday 15th August for you to pop in, see the hall, ask any questions and have a tea or coffee from the new kitchen. In addition, over the 5 days, there will be live entertainment, plus static displays about Hullavington, the hall, and the groups and businesses that operate within the village You can find the full programme of events and times by clicking here.

There are static displays from the Art Group, the Hall Project Group and a display of “What Goes on In our Village”, where village activity groups, the church and the small businesses within the village will advertise themselves.

In addition to the static displays, some of the local groups are putting on live activity sessions over this 5 day period. This gives people the opportunity to pop in on  the Art Class, Short Mat Bowls  and Line Dancing to see what they do.  There is also an evening where our local small businesses will display what they do and be on hand for you to talk to them.

There is also a children’s session on Friday afternoon. 11 Aug. At the moment we have circus skills such as juggling, unicycle etc, but would like to expand this if possible

Music From The Village. 2 evenings of music are planned .On Friday, the very talented Rock of Life Band will entertain us and on the Saturday we have “Undone” a rock group that includes Pete Malaband and Terry Pierce from Blicks Close. Filling in around the live performance will be a disco to take us through to about 11:00 pm. An entry fee of £3 will be charged for the Saturday to cover expenses with the remainder going to support the Hullavington News. Please do try to come along. It should be fun.
For both the above music events you are invited to bring your own refreshments .
 

The keys to the new  village hall  were handed over to the hall committee today Friday 21 July. There is still some fitting out to do but this will soon be finished and the hall will be fully operational and open for booking from the 1st September.  Before then we are planning a 5 day  period to introduce the hall to the village and to celebrate its completion. ....(more)
