If you cannot mould yourself entirely as you would wish, how can you expect other people to be entirely to your liking?

Celebrations in Naughton and Nedging

It was a beautiful summer day yesterday and a good one to celebrate the refurbishment of the village hall in Naughton and Nedging.

A hog roast barbecue was held to mark the event which was much enjoyed by everyone.

We enjoyed watching the games for children and also the 'welly wanging' competion, organised by the new District Councillor and local resident,  Alan Ferguson,  at which, not suprisingly, I did not excel!

How it should be done!


I was completely astonished to see the Hall's transformation.  Only a couple of months ago I attended the Annual Parish Meeting, and the only evidence that work was imminent were a few smears of paint on the wall where different options for the paintwork had been trialed.  Now the Hall has been completely made over, with air conditioning, an improved kitchen with new stove, a new ceiling and a very attractive colour scheme.

Hats off to Chairman of the Parish Council and  'project manager', Chris Harding, who not only spotted the funding opportunity offered by the (now exhausted) Community Empowerment Fund but also made sure that the work was completed in record time.

The transformed Village Hall.
