‘Big Do’ this Saturday

It’s just two days away – this year’s ‘Big Do in the Field’, the ever-popular annual village fete in the field opposite Warleggan Jubilee Hall in Mount, this Saturday, 23 July, 12 noon til about 4.30 pm.  All the usual things – and one or two innovations.

Usual things:  children’s fancy dress, children’s races, dog-show, BBQ, cream teas, beer/wine, stalls, games, welly wanging, etc etc etc;  plus the ever popular flower / veg / craft show in the hall

and then new this year:

>> Table tennis table will be out, weather permitting – and forecast looks promising.

>> Knobbly Knees –  win prizes –  are yours the KNobbliest?  the KNicest?   And can you work out whose knees belong to whom?  We’ll be displaying photos of faces, and  photos of knees, and you’ll be invited to work out which knees are whose.  We’ve had a good number of pairs of photos coming in, but we need more!  see BigDo webpage for details.

See you Saturday…. Free entry, free parking.

Legal bit? It’s called a Big Do, because, relative to the size of the parish, it is.  But in reality is a small friendly fete held annually to help bring the community together, to meet friends and to make new ones,  and at the same time to raise a bit of money to help keep our hall going and our hire rates affordable.

A big week in Warleggan

So what’s happening in the Jubilee Hall in Warleggan this week?
(see also posters below)

  • Friday 11th March, 9 am – 2 pm:
    Want to get your heart going again?          At Village Greens this Friday, we hope Sarah Cox will pop by.  She’s the daughter-in-law of everyone’s favourite postman Graham Cox, and she’s going to be running the London marathon next month, raising money for the defibrillator we hope to get installed in the phone box outside the hall.  For more info, or to donate online, go to our ‘heart‘ page.  There’s a link there to our JustGiving page, where donations can be made – and please, if you are a tax-payer, take the ‘GiftAid’ option, as this adds 25% to the donation at no extra cost to you.  Thanks go also to Warleggan Young Farmers, who have chosen this defibrillator fundraiser as one of the charitable causes they’re supporting this year. As always, Village Greens is open 9 am til 2 pm, offering a range of produce to buy, breakfasts, tea/coffee etc., and soup lunches.
  • Friday 11th March, 7.30 pm:
    ‘Pals’ – a story from the trenches      ~    a Carn to Cove performance, a story about friends who volunteer to join the army and go to war…  Stan and George will make you laugh and cry as they make their way to the front line of this Great War – info
    “A very entertaining evening. Great job from the boys. Engaging and moving”
    Ticket reservations: Liz Lane 01208 821551 –  £8 adult, £6 child, £22 family.
