Welcome to the first Punnetts Town Village Hall newsletter for 2024.

 

Christmas has come and gone and February is here already. Let’s hope for a healthy, prosperous and perhaps less rainy and windy 2024.

We had a very successful Fireworks Extravaganza on December 30th. Thank you to all the brave people who ventured out on a rather windy evening; we couldn’t fire

some of the rockets due to the wind! Many thanks to Jack Vockins for organising the display and to all our sponsors who made it possible.

 

This year Ricci Kent from Kendale Catering stepped into the breach as our previously booked caterer pulled out at the last minute. Everyone commented on the lovely food so he is already booked for this year’s event. It’s always nice to keep it local as well.

Some months ago Barclays Bank closed the Hall’s account. We were unable to pay monies in and, of course, pay bills and honour standing orders.

This was very frustrating for our Treasurer, who made numerous phone calls to re-open the account and who actually paid one mortgage payment using her own money.

 

The account has now been re-opened and thanks are due to our Treasurer for all her hard work and perseverance. On the subject of money, we have had to put up the Hall hire charges by a small amount due to increased costs.

Coffee Mornings
