Tunstead Village Hall

Marc James Event Saturday – 24th March

This event has been cancelled

The Tunstead Village Hall Committee have reluctantly had to cancel this event, due to lack of ticket sales.

Coming REALLY soon – Have you got your tickets?

Saturday 24th March sees the Marc James musical evening at Place UK. Thanks goes to Tim Place for allowing the Tunstead Village Hall and Recreation Ground committee to use his barn for this event.

Tickets are on sale from Wendy Atkins, Sarah Pearson and via tvhandrecreation@gmail.com at £5. You can purchase the tickets on the door for £7. Doors open 7:00 for 8:00 start.

Marc has quiet a following. I am sure it will be a great evening.

Any profits from the event go towards the fund for the building that is going to replace the existing modular building on the rec.

Well done mop and bucket crew

It was Mop and Bucket Day on Sunday 23rd April. It was time to give the buildings on the Recreation Ground a spruce-up ready for the season’s activities. So the changing rooms and the main building were tended to by a small, but dedicated team of volunteers. So thanks go to the team; Wendy, two Christines, Neil, Lisa, Poppy, Tilly and Clive.

The morning was pleasant and mild, just right to enable the team to sweep, dust, wash and polish the insides of the buildings. We turned up around 10:00am and set-to dividing into three parties; one cleaning the main hall, another team tackling the shower rooms, and Neil acting as handyman; hammering and screwing anything that needed fixing. Neil was helped by his two children; who spent some of their time testing the play equipment on the recreation ground. Wendy kept the teas and coffees flowing in-between her cleaning duties knowing that refreshments would be welcomed by everyone.

By lunch-time the main tasks had been completed, and a to-do list had been compiled. The cobwebs were gone. The dust diminished. Floors swept and washed, and the walls wiped over.

The team thought the buildings looked just right for acting as the base for the yard sale on May 7th, and the Fête on June 11th.

There are still one or two repair and replace jobs left to do, so we would like volunteers to come forward and lend a hand. Please contact Wendy directly, or though this web site, if you can spare some time to help out.

Mop and Bucket Day – Sunday 23rd April

The Village Hall Committee are organising a spring clean activity. The idea is to give the Village Hall and the Recreation Ground Loos a spruce-up, in time for the Yard Sale and Village Fête.

The committee would love you to come and help; even if you can only spend half an hour. It is surprising what can be done in that time. If 16 people turned up for just 30 minutes, it would be like one of the committee members spending the whole day sweeping and washing.

We’ve called it a mop and bucket day because these essential tools are what is needed; along with a cloth or sponge. We will supply the “Flash” and “Vim”, but we would like you to supply equipment and the elbow grease.

I am sure teas and coffees will be on hand to keep you going.

So please put Sunday 23rd April in your diary, and come along anytime from 10:00am. If you come early you could get to choose your favourite cleaning job.

Bingo Snowball Won!

Last night the village hall resounded with shouts of bingo! as usual on every other Thursday evening. However, last night was a bit special. Read on.

One game of bingo! which is played half-way through the evening is the Snowball. This is an accumulator game. Prize money from one snowball game going on to the following fortnight’s game if it is not won. To win the Snowball you have to have a “full house”; all numbers on a card being called out, but within the first set of numbers called. So if it takes more numbers to be called out before someone marks off all the numbers on their card, a portion of the prize money goes onto the Snowball game in a fortnight’s time.

Well last night, after several weeks of “house” not being successfully called before the limit, the Snowball accumulator was won! The happy winner is pictured below.

Have you thought about joining in. Its not all about winning, but a get-together, with time for a chat during the coffee break, as well as before and after the game. There is also a raffle.

Thanks go to Wendy for organising the games, Alan for calling, and Jane for making the teas and coffees.

The next bingo! night is Thursday 16th March 2017. If you would like to play bingo! with us, and catch up with friends, just pop along at 7:30pm.
