For those that couldn’t make the Glyndebourne performance at the village hall recently, it was a great success, even those who thought it wouldn’t be their thing, loved it! Many thanks to all the volunteers that helped, it couldn’t have happened without you.
Here are a few pictures, there were some professional ones taken during the performance, but I haven’t managed to get them yet.
Still undecided whether to go to Glyndebourne at Poynings Village Hall this evening. Well, there is still time. Online sales have sold out, but now we have set the hall up we have managed to get a few more seats in. So, pop along and get a ticket on the door. For more information go to https://applause.org.uk/whats-on/glyndebourne-pit-perfect/
Doors open at 6.50 giving you time to buy a drink and settle down before the start at 7.30.
See you there 😊

Next Saturday the 9th November at 9am, the Parish Council is moving the Stage Blocks and some chairs to the village hall. The stage blocks are heavy so we could do with some fitter people to help 😊
Don’t worry, you don’t have to carry them all the way, we will have a van (thank you Rushfields).
It shouldn’t take too long if there are a lot of us (I’ll just do the chairs!)
You are warmly invited to join us for The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, a service traditionally held at All Souls time.
At this service, we remember before God those whom we love but from whom we have been separated by death, whether recently or long ago.
During the short service, we will name those whom we specially want to remember and light a candle for each of them. Or if you prefer, you may simply name them before God in the silence of your heart.
Please would you let me know, by Friday 1st November, the name or names of those you would like to be remembered and I will gladly include them, whether or not you are able to attend in person. If you have already done so, there is no need to do so again.
