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.
Funhouse Comedy Club
Following on from the successful Funhouse Comedy Club event last October, compère Spikey Mike will return on Friday 20th May 2022 to introduce a further 3 comedians.

Community Litter Pick
As part of Bassetlaw District Council’s Spring Clean 2022 event, the Parish Council organized a Community Litter Pick to take place on Saturday 26 March 2022 from 10.00am. Gloves, litter pickers, high visibility vests and rubbish bags were provided. Following the litter pick, Bassetlaw District Council collected all the bagged of rubbish. A group of approximately 12 volunteers turned up on the day, rather disappointing turn out considering the number of residents in the village, with nearly 8oo eligible to take part. Those who care about the village and were fit with no prior engagements were soon busying themselves with the task in hand and soon collected twelve bags of rubbish including bottles and tin cans, old car tyres and a deep fat fryer to name but a few items discarded by the wayside on the main routes in and out of the village including Sutton Lane, Lound Low Road and Mattersey Road. Thankfully on this occasion there were no reports of false arms or legs being found on the verges as the clean-up proceeded. Everyone who joined in received complimentary refreshments in the Village Hall at the end of the event. Thanks to all who volunteered and gave their time so freely – Well done!
