As we emerge out of lockdown into the longer days and spring sunshine, I hope that all Dennington residents have managed to keep safe and well during what we hope will be the last National Lockdown. Since the last magazine, many of us will have been vaccinated. We can finally see some light at the end of the tunnel, hopefully heading towards some sense of normal life resuming in the early summer. Perhaps a Summer Party beckons at the Hall?
The Village Hall has been well looked after during its period of hibernation and is ready to welcome back regular classes and visitors for events from mid May – subject to official advice.
As Trustees, the team continue to work behind the scenes while the hall has been closed, with new curtains up in the main hall and a brand new website with an interactive online booking form now ready for action; do go to https://denningtonvillagehall.com and take a look. This will ensure that users, whether new or existing, can easily access and book all that we have to offer. We hope to advertise widely everything that is now available, and if anyone has any ideas for a community activity please do get in touch.
Finally, for those of you enjoying the Village Calendar, I would like to thank Kate Viscardi for her contribution in producing and distributing it. It serves to remind us of the delights we have on our doorstep and was a bright light in the gloom that we faced in the New Year.
I look forward to the hustle and bustle of village life as we all re-appear over the coming weeks.
Jo Cartwright, Chair of the Trustees
