Coffee mornings at Great Gidding

Coffee mornings at Great Gidding


Several people in the last week or so have asked me if we could start having Coffee Mornings again. I am very happy to
do so, with some revision to take into account changed circumstances.
I would suggest that we revert to holding them in the Village Hall, as we did originally. Several reasons; Covid is still with
us and may increase after the summer and there is more space in the Village Hall and people, myself included, may be
reluctant to host gatherings in their homes. Also, the Village Hall is a ‘neutral venue’ to which everybody can go.


What I propose is –
Meet at the Village Hall on alternate Tuesdays at 10.30 to about noon, initially on 28th June and 12 th and 26th
July, with no meeting in August as before.
Coffee, tea and biscuits will be provided without charge but a voluntary contribution of £1 per person to go to
Village Hall funds to cover electricity and so on.
A couple of volunteers will be needed to assist if I am unable to attend.
Keeping it simple and easily managed is important. Please pass information to others.

Thank you.

THE GIDDINGS IN THE REIGN OF OUR QUEEN

Over the Jubilee Bank Holiday we would like to display any photographs/newspaper cuttings/certificates, in fact anything that reminds us of events  that have happened in the Giddings, over the last 70 years……it may be pantos, various clubs, sporting activities, groups, societies, fetes, community picnics and dances to name just a few.

Have you anything that we could use and put on display? Please help us if you can by making sure any personal memorabilia you have is clearly identifiable with the date and event name and also clearly marked with your name and contact no. The cut off date for getting those memories out of the attic and over to us is the end of April so there’s not much time.

All will be brought together for the Jubilee Bank Holiday and displayed at the Village Hall for everyone to come along and share the memories….

Please contact either

Sue on Tel 293271   email:  jartrap@aol.com

Julie on TEL: 293591   Email: julie.trolove@gmail.com

for more details about collection/delivery of memorabilia.

Thank you.

Details of the event will follow soon.

Village Hall Committee – Could You Help?

Village Hall Committee – Could You Help?

Many of you will know that historically the Great Gidding Village Hall has been managed by a separate committee of volunteers who get involved in the day-to-day running of the Hall. 

The Village Hall has been very well supported by the volunteers in the past, but we have been without a Village Hall committee since last August. The Parish Council has been able to manage the Hall in the meantime, and one or two Councillors have been instrumental in helping address the list of maintenance issues and making improvements such as getting the Hall redecorated. 

We are looking for volunteers from within the Community

However, we are a small Parish Council with limited resources and we are looking for volunteers from within the Community who would be willing to help form a new Village Hall Management Committee.  If you would like to get involved, and wish to find out more, please contact Julie Trolove our Parish Clerk on 01832 293068 or email: ggparishcouncil@outlook.com

We believe the Village Hall is an asset for everyone to use,  but we would really appreciate your help to ensure that the it remains a central part of our Community in future!!
