The Reunion

Well, what a great day we had on Saturday! Lots of people showed up - more than we ever expected, and coming from all over the place to take part. It was fantastic to see so many people.


We set up the Hall in the morning. Someone had found some display boards at the last minute in another village hall nearby, and brought them over for us to use. They certainly made the pictures and other documents look much smarter, and easier for people to read.

We also set up tables for tea and coffee so there was plenty of time to chat about what was on show and to share memories.

The picture here also shows you one of our banners. This one was made by villagers for the opening of the Village Hall in 1993. The Hall replaced the old Constitutional Club, which itself opened in 1924.

We also have a banner made to celebrate the Millennium, and I may try and do a later post on the pair of them, as they are very lovely and took a lot of work by many people in the village.

Anyway, as I said, we had a great number of visitors with lots of information to share about living in our village over the years.

In this case, the former Captain of the Ladies' Cricket Team was thrilled to find the team photo from the year they won the League; here she is with it, having spotted herself in the centre of the photo.

With any luck we hope to hold another event in the future. It is simply amazing how much information there is on such a small place.
