Christmas Shopping Evening

The Annual Christmas Shopping Evening at The Old School will take place this Friday 9 November, from 7 to 10pm. It will be in aid of Hullavington School HSA. Mulled wine and mince pies will create a seasonal atmosphere, whilst you can choose something for everyone, from stalls including books, cards, jewellery, decorations, candles, plants, toys, edible gifts, Glam Originals, and much more
 

Hullavington Christmas Market

Hullavington Village Hall buzzed with activity on Saturday when the WI were kept very busy serving soup to shoppers at the Christmas Market. “Guess the name of the Bear” was won by Nick Fry, who was not able to man his stall due to illness, so we hope the bear will speed his recovery.  The hall benefited from the day to the tune of over £160 pounds.
 

Serendipity Coffee Morning

In September, the Serendipity Coffee Mornings raised £200 for Hullavington News. There will be a ‘Children in Need’ Special in November, but otherwise, October to December is for ZANE to help the national emergency in Zimbabwe. All are welcome from 10am to noon on Fridays.
 

Golden Threads

Di Hamblin spoke to the Golden threads group last Wednesday, about her recent trip to Uganda. A highlight of the talk was the dress she brought back with her, made by a sewing student. It was a neat little sundress, with beautiful workmanship, but was made out of brown paper, as the students could not afford to use fabric to make up their samples.
 

Church Gift Day Appeal

 The Church of St Mary Magdalene has been a focal point of the village for almost 900 years. A significant sum of money has been donated to provide extra facilities for the church, with a modern heating system and toilet facilities being a priority, but annual maintenance costs are high. On Saturday 10 November the church will be open from 10am to 1pm for coffee and to receive contributions towards the upkeep of this ancient building.
 

Remembrance Day Service

The Service of Remembrance at Hullavington Church will be at 10:50am on 11 November. Please arrive in good time.
 

Ramblers Group

Hullavington Ramblers consisted of 22 people and two dogs for their six mile circular walk, from the Goddard Arms pub at Clyffe Pypard. The route ran along the foot of the Marlborough Downs then ascended steeply to Bincknoll Castle. The walk was fairly damp underfoot, and the sun made a brief guest appearance at around noon, not soon enough to burn off the mists which masked the views, but soon enough for the group to enjoy the pleasures of an al fresco lunch.
