On 26th February 2016, 6:00–7:00pm [note the change of time]. We welcome new people to come and contribute to discussions, to help with organising events, and to help with maintenance tasks. We have maintenance mornings every so often in order to keep things tidy and to do small jobs. We would also welcome ideas for new events in the hall.

Montage Fair, Quiz, PartySocial Matters

There was a response from four of you about what we can do to improve the attendance at the annual village Christmas party. The consensus, with which I agree, was to hold it a week earlier, which would be Friday 9th December. A suggestion was made to have music, but I am of the opinion that the hall is too small to accommodate talking, drinking and music at the same time.

Does anyone have any further thoughts on this?

The Annual General Meeting of the Social Committee will be in the hall at 7.30pm on Thursday 4 February. We will be discussing, inter alia, the ongoing talks with the Shepherd & Dog to hold a Call my Bluff in a marquee at the pub on the evening of Friday 29 July and a smaller fair at the pub and the North Town Field on Saturday 30th July.

If you would like to be involved in this and willing to help, then please come along to the AGM.

Party Epilogue

We had a successful village Christmas party on Friday 18th December principally due to Nick’s great mulled wine (ably assisted by Mr Lidl), Lee’s decorations and Louise, Jay and George’s efforts on the Tombola together with the helpers who passed food and drink around and cleared up afterwards. The generous number of donated prizes made for an excellent Tombola.

But… why such a low turnout? The attendance at the village Christmas party seems to have shrunk over the last few years. Please give me some feedback to bob.pamrowland@btinternet.com. Is the Friday before Christmas conflicting with other festive events? Is it the wrong location? Is it the wrong time of day? Should we have better facilities for children? Should we give it up altogether? Do you dislike the idea of mixing with other villagers? Have you any other suggestions?

I believe it is such a good way of introducing newcomers to the rest of the village and other people connected with the village that it would be pity to have it disappear. Please respond and I promise we will do everything we can to get the event back on track.

Fulking Social Committee Annual General Meeting is at 7:30pm on Thursday 4th February in the village hall. If you feel like getting involved come along.
