The Elham Village Hall Association Committee are continuing to plan for the regular events as well as trying new social opportunities. We hope you will read about them in this month’s Newsletter and be prompted to ‘give it a go’. If you are new to the village come and introduce yourselves. We look forward to meeting you all. We must thank Hugh Carson for his delightful summer meadow picture that he sent (originally for the Talk on the Wild Side) and invite you to attend in November, the purpose not only to show excellent and interesting pictures taken by Elham Residents, but to raise funds for the Christmas Illuminations. If you have any suggestions or views or if you are organising an event in November this year that you want listed in ‘What’s On’ please send details to [email protected] before 13th October. This is YOUR Village Newsletter, distributed free of charge by the Elham Village Hall Association for all to read and enjoy.
