Baby Congratulations to Louisa and Darren on the birth of their first baby, Dexter William, on September 19 weighing 6lb 4oz. Louisa will be well known to many in Chearsley for the important role she has played at Chearsley Cricket Club for many years and for pulling a pint or two in The Bell. Dexter makes Terry and Michael Gadsby, Louisa's parents, first time grandparents and Michael and Yvonne Edmonds great grandparents again. Congratulations and very good wishes to you all.
Bingo at The Bell
There was a good number at this month’s Bingo on Tuesday evening, despite the wet evening, including some new players with beginner’s luck. The Snowball game was not won, so this will roll on for a possible £250 which could be won next month. Proceeds from the raffle which takes place during the interval made £38 for the charity pot. Bingo next month will be on November 3 at 8.30pm. Room can always be found for more to come and try their luck and have a very enjoyable evening with the chance to win a good cash prize. The final Full House prize this month was £57.
Theatre in the Villages
With regret, it has been decided by the Village Hall committee that this year we would not be hosting one of these professional performances which are now taking place in rural areas throughout the county. The size of Chearsley hall and stage greatly limits the choice of productions which can be performed. Although several productions over the past 4 years have been received with great enthusiasm by those attending, the evenings have not always been a financial success and it has been a struggle to sell the tickets. It is hoped that next year there may be some shows which will be suitable for our hall and we will again be able to offer the opportunity of attending one of these excellent professional shows.
Shabbington is hosting an evening of favourite classic songs from movies, shows and musicals in a presentation by West End singers, Jayne O’Mahony and John Langley on Friday October 23 at 7.30pm in the Church. An ideal evening out for all the family.
For full programme details of the shows, which are held in villages throughout the county, including prices and booking details, go to www.aylesburyvaledc.gov.uk/tiv.
