Village Hall Warm Hub
The Village Hall will be operating a ‘warm hub’ from the beginning of December to the end of March. This will provide an opportunity for tea, coffee and cake, and chat with village friends in the lounge area.
Our first meeting is at the village hall on Monday 5th December from 1:00 to 3:00pm. There will be mulled wine and warm mince pies and the opportunity to hear from Alvynne Curley from Act on Energy who can provide helpful advice on the use of energy and can help with communication with your suppliers. It's free of charge but if you would like to make a small contribution to the cost, it would be welcome.
At the next meeting on 12th December we will have representatives of the Stour Health and Wellbeing Partnership (SHWP) to explain what they are about and how they can help villagers. They have been in existence for just one year and have already delivered over 200 health and wellbeing sessions, opened the Shipston Warm Hub and created strong links with numerous health and wellbeing agencies including the NHS, local authorities and voluntary bodies working in this sector. It promises to be another interesting and useful discussion.

An Evening With Sunny Ormonde: Lilian Bellamy from BBC Radio 4’s “The Archers”
Saturday 26th November - tickets (available from the shop) are priced at £15 and include a glass of mulled wine and a warm mince pie.
You can now also buy tickets online
Sunny has been playing the “outrageous and raunchy Lilian Bellamy” in Radio 4’s The Archers for the past 22 years and has become one of the listeners most favourite characters! Her antics have kept the nation gripped and entertained, whether it be riding round Ambridge on a Harley Davidson, drinking The Bull and Cider shed dry with Eddie Grundy, absconding to Costa Rica with her beloved and recently departed Tiger! (Oh the louse!) or recklessly kicking off her sling-backs and leaping into bed with Tigers brother Paul. Not to mention the Knitting, the Collagen, the Calendar Girls, furlong frolics (and almost wedding) with Justin Elliot AND the renaming of THE BULL!!!!!
In the show Sunny will fill you in on all the behind-the-scenes stories about the Worlds longest running soap opera - an evening of anecdotes, banter, and favourite pieces from Sunny’s long and distinguished acting career - humorous and touching in turn.
PLUS a question and answer session with the audience about the making of the Archers, now in its 71st year. Where did that laugh come from? Did Victoria Wood really pull a pint in The Bull? How big are Toms sausages?
And last but not least – A prize for the most original Archers question!!!
“Sunny dances in and out of Lilian’s character with ease, but also with Drama….Shirley Valentine…..Under Milk Wood……stories and anecdotes galore…….an evening to remember!”
You don’t have to be an Archers listener to enjoy this highly entertaining evening! There is something for everyone!
