A New Year in Warleggan

A Happy New Year to all our friends of the Warleggan News website.  We’re only 18 months old, and have already had over 50,000 views, and over 240 comments –  thanks to everyone for your interest!

2014 in Warleggan starts with a bang:

  • Come and join us at the Jubilee Hall for the ceilidh on New Year’s Eve (Tuesday 31st December) –  should be  a great evening for the whole family, as we welcome back the ever popular musicians Choughed to Bits, who not only play brilliantly, but also guide us through the steps ~ you may remember them from the Jubilee Ceilidh in June 2012?   There’ll be soft drinks and a licenced bar, and everyone is asked to bring a plate of food to share, so that we can keep going until the new year begins at midnight. All ages welcome.  Starts 8pm. Adults £5;   Children £3 ;  under 4 free  – contact Jasmina 821223 or Gill 821494
  • The History Club is then organising this year’s New Year Walk which will take place on Thursday 2nd January. Those interested should gather at the Jubilee Hall, ready for an 11.00am departure.  It will be a fairly easy walk of under three miles following the highways and byways around Mount.  Returning to the Hall for soup and dessert.  Please let Gill know on 821494  if you are able to join us for the lunch and/or the walk.
  • Book your places now for the ‘Pub Quiz with a Difference’ to be held at the Jubilee Hall on Saturday 11th January –  it’s a Carn to Cove production, with the group ‘Scary Little Girls’, and is said to be very entertaining!  Licensed bar. Starts 7pm.  Adults £8;   Child/OAP £6;   Family £22  – contact Liz L. 821551
  • Finally a couple of reminders:  Village Greens will re-open are its winter break at 9am on Friday 17 January, and the next Lunch Club will be held on Tuesday 28 January.

Happy New Year!

Games evening Friday and more…

In case you haven’t checked out the Warleggan website* recently, here’s what’s happening…

  • This Friday 18th Oct, the day after tomorrow, we’re having our TableTop Games evening at the hall, starting 7.30pm.  Free entry. Come along and play a few games – and if you have games you’d like to bring along, then please do!  Come and play, or come and watch. There’ll be refreshments, with a licensed bar, hot pasties, and snacks. Plus a raffle.  It’ll be a great relaxing fun evening, a chance to show off your skills, or develop new ones.  Amongst the games we hope to have:  Dominoes, Chess, Drafts, Backgammon, Cards, Othello (or ‘Reversi’), Darts, Cluedo, Bingo, Tri-ominoes, Poker, Jenga,  Connect 4, Kerplunk, Card-Monopoly ...  Bring along your games (including any of the above), or other ones  – Does anyone have table football, for instance?
  • Then, next Wednesday 23 Oct, we have the  History Club Talk on the Pentewan Valley Railway (The Tea Treat Train) by Rob Evans, Jubilee Hall, 7.30pm – if you’re not a member yet, come along anyway – the more the merrier.
  • Some of us may be joining the Farnworth family for Roger’s Day on Sunday 27th October – see details
  • The next Lunch will be on Tuesday 26th November –  all seats must be booked in advance;  £4 a head, two courses – call Jasmina on 01208 821223, or Gill on 821494.
  • Hall hire – remember, anyone is welcome to hire the hall anytime – just check out the hall hire pages on the website.
  • Why not organise a quiet skittles evening for you and your friends (the skittles set is now kept in the hall, and is available for use  –  £10 plus standard hall hire charge)  –  or why not hold your birthday party there?
  • And we’ve got a great kitchen, so if you want to cook a meal for your friends, or get someone in to do it, then get in touch.  If you do it before the end of the month, it’ll be just £5 on top of the hall hire charge, which doesn’t even cover the likely electricity charges  –  be advised though that from 1st November, the charge for use of the full kitchen will be £10 for regular users, and £20 for occasional users, still great value.
  • And Christmas is coming soon  – book now if you’d like to hold a party at the Jubilee Hall.
  • Oh, and remember to keep New Year’s Eve free, as we shall be bringing the new year in at the hall with a Ceilidh – with refreshments, and we’ll be applying for a licensed bar to stay open til late.
