 Village Hall News

A quote is being sought for speakers, microphone and projector in the Village Hall. This was one item on the community list for the CIL money.

The accounts have been checked and deemed accurate ready for the end of our financial year and presentation at the AGM.

The last VHC event was the curry night which was a great success and raised around £400.

It was the VHC's pleasure to host an entertaining evening put on by some of our community to raise funds for breast cancer research. Best of luck to you all for the midnight stroll!

 

Future Events

 

Saturday 20th April-our Annual General Meeting from 7pm to 7:30 pm where the reports for the year will be presented and hopefully a new committee member or two may step forward. We have many willing members of the community who do an enormous amount of work-we just need one or two additional committee members to help get things organised-or suggested! It is not a very onerous task with a two-hour meeting each month!

Following the AGM we are having a Country Dancing evening (part 2). The music will be from CDs under the expert direction of Jayne. It's free...and the bar is open with sausage rolls available to buy.

Village Afternoon Tea Tuesday 30th April  2pm to 4pm. And it is free-please come along for a mardle (if you're Suffolk)-and a chat if you're not!

Potential Future Events:
 It was decided to run a Village Breakfast on the 1st June at the Village Hall 9:00-10:00 This will be a 'booked' event and offer either a Continental breakfast or a Traditional English. More details to follow...

Village Fete 22nd June. As always this is a major event on the village calendar. The Village Green will be a licensed area so only alcoholic drinks purchased on site can be drunk but there will be all the usual fun activities and stalls to enjoy. Please put it in your diaries. More details to follow...

The building maintenance is ongoing and we have renewed the electrical certification and PAT tested all the appliances in the VH. Unfortunately, we seem to have lost the car park lighting at the moment but it may be back when you read this!

And PLEASE consider whether you could help maintain our Village Hall through being on the committee!
Date of the next Meeting: 15th April 2024 in the Village Hall at 8pm

Defibrillator

It is with great pleasure that the Parish Council announce that Wickham Skeith now has a Defibrillator.  You may well have seen the yellow defibrillator cabinet on the wall of the village hall.  Should you need to call for an emergency ambulance for someone who has collapsed with a suspected heart attack, they will tell you the code to enter into the keypad to access the defibrillator. 

 

The Parish Council is currently looking at training providers and, once organised, there will be a list of training sessions published that will be free for people to attend.  There will also be an opening ceremony for our Wickham Skeith Defibrillator - more details to follow.

 

The Parish Council thanks Cllr Freeman and all those involved with fund raising events, enabling the launch of this project.
