There is still no clear guidance on social gatherings in large numbers, so it is unclear which events later this year will be able to take place. Once clear guidance is available notices will be given as which events may still happen!

Village Hall
The Village Hall Trustees and Committee had approached the Parish Council and asked whether it would take on the responsibility and running of the Village Hall under the similar remit as it is currently.
