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.
Paul Burgess

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.
