Village Hall News

Live and Local Performance

On Friday 22nd April 2022 the hall will be hosting its first Live and Local performance, Forget Me Not – The Alzheimer’s Whodunnit. This is a one-man murder mystery with a poignant twist. The show creator and performer, Rob Gee, has achieved the rare feat of combining serious and potentially upsetting subject-matter and remarkable comedy into a respectful, considerate, entertaining piece of theatre.

Tickets will be £13.50 each in advance.

Visit the Village Hall website for more details.

Sutton Spotlight

The first edition of the Spotlight in 2022 has made its way round the village over the weekend.

The Spotlight is funded by Sutton cum Lound Parish Council and is produced and delivered by volunteers.

Gardening Club

Sutton and Barnby Moor Gardening Club held their AGM on Tuesday 1st March at Barnby Moor village hall at 7:30pm. A group of 35 members were present on this occasion. Chairperson Jenny Bailey opened the meeting, and all official notices and reports were given out. Committee members of the club stood down at this time, but had agreed to stand again if required. With no nominations from the floor, the previous committee were elected en bloc, apart from Elaine Hauser who decided to stand down as programme secretary and the non-enviable job of finding speakers for the group over the last seven years.

After various discussions, the meeting was brought to a close and members were invited to partake in a glass of wine and nibbles supplied by the group and socialise for the remainder of the evening.
