ANOTHER very successful Christmas bingo with thanks to Julia Bath for her great organisation once again.

Over 100 people attended for the fun night with great prizes and thanks are extended to all who helped in any way, especially to Sue Davies for her delicious cakes as always.

To everyone who gave raffle and other prizes, a big thank you to our brilliant bingo caller, Kevin Gilbert with his usual humour, and to everyone who supported the event to help raise over £800 for the upkeep of the hall and Parson's Meadow.

The next hall meeting will take place on January 14 at 7pm.

AS funds are greatly needed for the parish hall for the repair of damage caused by water leakage, a draw is going on right now - A Lucky Square Draw, entry is £1 per square and available at the bar of the Cardon Inn at Upton Cross.

The intention is to draw it at the Caradon Inn on Saturday, January 3, which will be filmed to show total transparency of the process. Remember "you need to be in it, to win it!"

A reminder too that the defibrillator is now back outside the hall, ready and available when needed. As there is no income at the moment chairman Christine Ewings is looking to set up ‘Friends of the Defibrillator’ during 2026.

This will provide the upkeep and internet supply that costs £250 each year. If anyone is interested in supporting the funding email [email protected]
