A marked contrast to the Hot Doggers are Five Loose Chippings. They are a not for profit band from Thirsk who play Americana, Country and pop classics in a distinctive style.

The volunteers will be clearing out under the stage and dismantling the stage. Anyone wanting the wood can take it away. Mucky clothes and gloves needed!
Phase 1 of the Village Hall Refurb is set to commence soon. This comprises building new area where the rose garden is, creating a new main entrance, moving the kitchen and creating a bare bones kitchen and moving the diabled toilet entrance.
