Your weekly news update Friday 1st November 2024

 

Hi All,

Here is the weekly news from the Ardentinny Community Council and the Village Hall.

 

Ardentinny Community Council News

 

Act of Remembrance at the War Memorial - Sunday 10 November 2024 @ 11.30 am

We will hold the Act of Remembrance at the Village War Memorial on Sunday 10th November at 11.30am.

 

Ardentinny Local Place Plan – Drop-In sessions 15th and 16th November @ Ardentinny Village Hall

We are holding two drop-in sessions to which all residents, clubs, charities and businesses are invited on the following dates in Ardentinny Village Hall.

 

Friday 15th November 13.00-16.00 and Saturday 16th November 09.00-12.00

We are developing a Local Place Plan for Ardentinny Community Council area using your input to the Residents Survey of 2023, plus items from the last Ardentinny Community Action Plan.

This is your opportunity to hear more on what the Local Place Plan aims are, and also to add your own further views (that may have changed or perhaps there are new ones since the last survey) on what you believe Ardentinny needs to remain a beautiful, thriving village.

Those of you who are office bearers/committee members in Clubs, Charities, Trusts and also businesses will receive a specific invite as we are looking to see how we can capture your organisations specific aims and future aspirations within the Local Place Plan.

 

Results of Beach Clean

 Thank you everyone who attended the beach clean it was a great turn out. Special thanks to everyone who completed the survey for the Marine conservation society, they were very happy to receive our results as it lets them understand what is going on over all our shores. They turned our results into a chart which you can see below. Our biggest findings were small pieces of plastic, which may seem insignificant but if not picked up will continue to break down and end up as micro plastics in our water. Thanks again to all who attended.

Village Hall Weekly News

IMPORTANT NOTICE – Update on the Heating replacement and upgrade

The new heating in the main hall is now working – many thanks to Mark Holmes for all his efforts. There may be one or two minor adjustments to still be made but we now anticipate that everyone will be more than toasty!

 

As we stated previously the installation is taking place in Two Phases – Phase 1 is now concluded and Phase 2 (the installation of new Convector Storage heaters in the ancillary areas) is provisionally scheduled to commence before Christmas.

 

ATTENTION ALL QUIZZERS

The next village hall Quiz has a Scottish Theme and will be hosted by John Brint. This will take place on Saturday 16th November 2024. Doors will open at 7.00pm for a 7.30pm start. Remember to make a date in your diary now. Members £2.50 each and Non-members £3.00.

 

Advance notice - A number of exciting dates for your diary.

 

WREATH MAKING - 30th November or 14th December (Date to be confirmed). Neil Robinson will be hosting the wreath making again at the Village Hall. There will be an admission on the door of £TBC. Greenery (plants and leaves etc) to be brought from own gardens and shared out between participants. Bring own embellishments. Blank wreath frames will be provided – event includes hot chocolate and refreshments.

 

SING-ALONG - 21st December - Christmas Sing-along at the Ardentinny for all Ardentinny Village residents (in aid of Parkinsons and Mind). This is the same format as last year – free buffet for all but buy your own drinks. Music will be provided by The Famous Ardentinny Ukulele Band - but you have to Sing-along!

 

CHRISTMAS HUB – 25th December This will take place at the Ardentinny rather than on the beach. After several ‘bad weather’ days in the past it has been decided that the Ardentinny is a better place to meet up. The Ardentinny has kindly agreed that people can come along and bring their own drinks and nibbles (before the Ardentinny opens). This will enable people to meet up on Christmas day in the warm rather than in a force 9 gale on the beach. Time TBC.

 

 

HOGMANAY - 31st December – Hogmanay at the Ardentinny Village Hall – VOLUNTEERS URGENTLY NEEDED

This event was a great success last year and many have asked for it again. Dee Robinson has agreed to act as coordinator for this but still needs more volunteers for this to go ahead. We have managed to secure the Elderlies Band to play at the event but Dee needs help to get this underway. PLEASE contact Dee on aldina6166@gmail.com or speak to her direct if you can help to get this going. Neil Robinson has agreed to make the Hamper boxes again BUT we need donations to put in them. We will need to have volunteers in place by 4th November. If you are willing to help then please let Dee know. Sadly, if we don’t get enough volunteers to make this viable then we will have to cancel it.

 

Below is a list of the regular hall events with contact details. You can also find this on the Ardentinny Community Council web site.

That’s all for now

 

Mark Rowthorn (Chairman), Brian Hillesdon (Secretary), Helen Rowthorn (Treasurer), Elsbeth Brint (Trustee) and Dee Robinson (Trustee)
