ANNOUNCEMENTS

WANTED EDITOR FOR MOGGERHANGER VILLAGE MAGAZINE

I have been the editor of the Village Magazine for the last 20 years. It is time for me to step down to enable the Magazine to have a facelift and a fresh approach.

I have discussed the future of the magazine with various villagers and the common thoughts are that a paper copy of the magazine (or a notice sheet) would be the way forward to keep everyone informed of village events and news.

At the moment the front and back pages are done by others each month and then forwarded to the editor. The other pages come from the various organizations in the village each month, namely the Vicar, the School, The Park, St. John’s Hospice, the Village Hall, the Gardening Club, the Parish Council, the Church, the Meeting Place and various individuals as and when there is something to promote. We also have contributions from the neighbouring villages of Willington, Cople and Blunham.

These contributions all arrive in electronic form so the job of the editor is simply to put it all together each month.

Currently there are 10 issues a year with the summer issue depending on when the Editor’s holiday falls!

Please do contact me if you would like to know more.

“VILLAGE HAPPENINGS”

FOLK NIGHT – 1st WEDNESDAY each month. Next date 3rd December.

Each month we enjoy an excellent attendance; last month there were some new (to us) musicians and an enthusiastic audience.  Every player has the chance to play two or three numbers and Home Brew usually opens and finishes the evening with some rousing songs.

Now we look forward to welcoming you all to the next Folk Night.  Doors open at Moggerhanger Village Hall as usual at 7 pm and music starts about 8 pm. You have the chance to come early, get yourself a drink and chat to friends.   So please come along—all are welcome to sing, play, listen—or all three.  Entrance is free and there will be a raffle. 

Pictures from recent Folk Nights can be found on the Events pages of the village hall website.
