Community Café

It is almost five years since we started this Community Café and it is great to see that it is as popular as ever!  

Although it is run as ‘not for profit’ there is a small surplus every month. In the past we have used this surplus to buy the Christmas tree, lights and decorations,  a new fridge and contributed towards some redecoration in the kitchen. We have also contributed towards the village playground equipment. 

It is now some time since we allocated any of the surplus funds, which have grown to approximately £900. It seems a sensible idea to donate this to the Village Hall refurbishment fundraising effort, particularly as the Hall Committee do not charge us for use of the hall. 

Thank you for your support over the past five years, which has enabled us to put surplus funds to good use in the community. Also, a special thank you to all the volunteers who run the café, donating both their time and some baking every month. 

Dates for your diary – it’s a double for December!

Saturday 17 December – free coffee, tea and mince pies as a Christmas special in the Village Hall 10 – 11.30am.

Saturday 31 December – a chance to make your New Year resolutions over coffee and cake in the Village Hall 10 – 11.30 am.

Sessay Village Bar Opening

Sessay Village Bar is open regularly!

The Village Bar is open every Friday evening from 7pm. Come and join friendly conversation and banter over a pint. Bring your neighbour! If you are interested to help, please contact Dennis by email or just turn up.

The Village Bar had also been open for the first couple of England games. I guess it depends how England do in the knockout stages so watch out – there should be a few more nights. Come on England!

Christmas Fair

November 19th

The Christmas Fair was a great success. There were 13 stall holders of great variety from our local community. Most of stall holders reported a successful day’s trading. A great deal of hard work was put in in the bar servicing tea and coffee, mulled wine and mince pies all day, along with the tombola. Thank you to all who worked so hard and generously donated tombola prizes. Overall £622.74 was raised for the Village Hall refurbishment.
