Halloween Pub Night It was great to see so many of you at the Halloween Pub Night and our huge thanks go to Martina and her family and friends who helped to make this event the fun success it was. A group of us enjoyed watching the “Halloween Strictly” on our new large TV and the fun, games and Karaoke were enjoyed by all ages throughout the evening. Thanks to Kevin Knights for manning the bar. A profit of £150 towards village hall funds was made that night.
Village Afternoon Tea Our Christmas Afternoon tea will be on Tuesday 17th December from 2pm to 4pm. All are invited, dogs included, and plenty of sandwiches, cakes and mince pies will be consumed along with bottomless tea and coffee. A Christmas quiz and the usual games and lively chat will all be on offer. Come and join us!
November Quiz Night At the time of writing, we are in preparation for this event and, by the time you read this, it will have happened and we will be able to report on it next month.
December Pub Night On 14th December we will be holding another Pub Night. This falls on the night of the Final of “Strictly Come Dancing” which we will be showing on our big TV . Watch the media channels to find out the start time. Come to watch, dress in Glad Rags is optional. If “Strictly” is not your thing then just come along for a drink and enjoy the conversation.
Plum Pudding Walk On 28th December you are invited to gather in the hall at 11am for a glass of mulled wine or some juice. On collecting a map, you can enjoy a breath of fresh air on our guided walk around the local lanes and tracks. After the walk join us for a bowl of soup with a bread roll, several varieties available to suit all tastes. If you don’t wish to join the walk, then please come and join us for a soup lunch. Cost £4.50.
Essex and Suffolk Water
The Essex and Suffolk Water Mobile Engagement Team will be parked in the Village Hall Car Park from 10am to 1pm on Friday, 13th December 2024. Please come along - they are keen to give out information and answer any concerns.
In 2025 the first event run by the Village Hall Committee will be the Village Afternoon Tea on 25th February. There will be several of the usual activities in the Hall in January such as Pilates and Yoga.

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.
