"Cornwall's famous professional theatre company is coming to Halstock Village Hall.,

 in wintry December. Bringing a fiery adventure of underground caverns, molten lava,

and prehistoric monsters. Will the dotty professor and his reluctant niece survive to

 tell us what happens next? This nail biting production is suitable for all.

The show must go on!

Actor, organiser and ticket officer, Hazel Darneley  from Rexy Farm, West Chelborough has been a  major supporter of local theatre. So John, her husband and all her

friends were shocked that Hazel had to go into hospital. Was this the final curtain?

Never! Determined Hazel will be taking your calls as usual for Kneehigh's

December production. An inspiration to all of us!

 Modern Sequence and Old Time Dancing with tuition and refreshments at the Village Hall 8.30 - 11 pm.  First Monday of every month.  All welcome Enquiries 01935 872473.

 A very warm welcome to Chris and Jackie who moved into Wombrook House in

We hope that you will be very happy in your new homes and make many new friends.

 I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who sent presents, cards and good wishes to celebrate my 90^th Birthday.  I have, in fact, had a whole month of birthdays,

so many thanks.                 Bill the Biker
