Metheringham Village Hall News

We are pleased to say that our fundraising activities are continuing to be very successful. Following the plant sale in May, we also supported the Fire Station open day on 28 July.

The 50/50 Auction, which was held on 1 September was an excellent occasion. We would like to thank everybody for their support. The team worked very hard for the whole day, but we were rewarded with another good fundraiser, raising nearly £600.00

Now, our special thanks must go to Butch at the Star and Garter, who donated £650 to our fund from the proceeds of his Autumn Vegetable Show. Great stuff, Butch and we look forward to a race night on 26 October there in company with the football club.

Altogether we have raised nearly £3,000 for the village hall funds, which has enabled us to pay for the new boiler.

We have exciting plans for the rest of this year. On Friday 23 November we are putting on a one-off concert at which the Lincs Harmony Group and MAD are providing the entertainment, watch out for local publicity.

For Christmas we are having a Village Hall Open Evening on Friday 21 December. You are warmly invited to come along and enjoy the facilities of the village hall. Father Christmas will be in attendance for the children and there will be carols and Christmas songs around the Christmas tree. Do come along to this festive evening. Entry is free and there will be refreshments available, including mince pies and mulled wine, to get your Christmas off to a good start.
