PLEASE TAKE NOTE

FORMER METHODIST CHAPEL

Dear Parishioners,
Your Parish clerk has asked for the Application below to be included on our Village Website. As you will see it refers to demolition of the former Methodist Chapel in St. John’s Road, Moggerhanger. Apart from the obvious religious nature of the building it does represent another part of our history that has become part of the scene in our village. You may feel it would be unfortunate to see yet another premises being converted or replaced by yet another house. Perhaps you may also feel that if it were to become a dwelling the façade could be incorporated in that building as has been done in many other parts of the country. It is perhaps a contentious topic but should anyone feel strongly on this proposal they would be advised to write to the Central Beds Council stating their objection or not. It is important to state any reasons for objection. Do not forget to include the reference number.

“VILLAGE HAPPENINGS”

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

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.
