  • Moulton Mattersjuly 2014 I Think Everyone Would Agree That the Fun Day on the 25Th May Was a Huge Success
    Moulton MattersJuly 2014 I think everyone would agree that the Fun Day on the 25th May was a huge success. Sandwiched in between some heavy rain both before and after the event we were lucky that the sun shone and lots of people came to enjoy some great food and entertainment. Village clean ups, club and general village events are great and keep the village popular and with a real sense of community, but behind the scenes a lot of planning and work goes into them, that often does not get recognised or appreciated. Even if you don’t want to join a committee an offer of help is welcome, so please do take a minute to ask if there is anything that you might be able to help with. It will be very welcome. When the Moulton Millennium Club (MMC) was set up in 2000 its primary aim was to raise funds for the village hall. With lots of financial support from village people and grants the hall was built but it continues to need funding to cover all its costs. The MMC in its new revamped form will continue to raise funds for the village including local clubs which often struggle to survive. Some of the funds raised at the Fun Day will go towards a defibrillator for the village. A fairly simple device that can help to save lives. Dick Marshall (MMC Treasurer) can be contacted on 01638 750488 if you wish to make a donation at any time. Thank you.
