Our ever popular quiz returns on April 9th. Entry will be for teams of up 6 people and there will be a chilli supper (meat or veg) provided within the ticket price of £10. There’ll be a maximum of ten teams so sign up soon.
Lis Ribbans will be our quiz master once again and tickets are available at the Community Shop.
Many of you will have been looking forward to the Village Hall quiz night due to be held 19th November but regrettably the trustees have decided to postpone it until February. The reason being the significant increase in coronavirus positive cases in the local area and we would not want to expose anybody to the risk of infection
We hope this wretched pandemic will have receded by February and we can all have a great time as usual at the quiz night
Ilmington Village Hall is proud to present the ever popular and widely acclaimed play Old Herbaceous, starring Giles Shenton. Performed at the Edinburgh Festival and to sell out audiences across the country, it is the story of an Edwardian head gardener which will keep you engrossed, amused and emotionally engaged from start to finish and hopefully leave you with a feeling that all is right with the world. It will be performed for one night only on 11th September and tickets are available at £10 from Ilmington Community Shop or here
We will be holding our AGM on Wednesday 19th May at 7:00pm.
Social distancing and hand sanitising measures will be in place to ensure a safe environment but should villagers prefer to join via Zoom, a link can be obtained by emailing our treasurer.
Please come along or join us on Zoom and support this vital volunteer run village amenity.

From May 17th we will be able to welcome users to our village hall once more, although in a limited way. Then, if the government’s relaxation of lockdown continues as planned, we hope to have the hall fully re-opened on June 21st. Please call 01608 682527 for any booking enquiries.
As fate would have it, on the day that we had completed all the preparations for reopening the village hall, the government announced further restrictions which has made this impossible until after 2nd December. We hope to be able to welcome you all back to a safe environment then.
The Village Hall is preparing, under strict guidelines, to re-open for keep fit classes and for any other interested groups.
To be ready for this we need a new regular cleaner. If you are interested in approximately 2hrs work a week please contact our treasurer, Paul Bryan, on 07711 121210 or email theflyingmorrisman@hotmail.com.
If you’re considering using the hall please contact our booking secretary, Nina Murchison, on 01608 682527 or via our bookings page
The Trustees of the Village Hall have reviewed the recent Government guidance in respect of reopening community centres, and, given the limitations in the types of use allowed and the operating precautions that would be needed, it has been decided that the Hall should remain closed until the end of August when the situation will be reviewed once more.
In addition it is proposed to postpone the AGM until January 2021 when the Trustees should be in a better position to assess and report on the impact of the loss of bookings during the pandemic period.
If there are any concerns within the community about these arrangements, villagers are welcome to call Bryan Clifford on 01608 682996.
