Ideas for Future Village Hall Events
Classes in the hall for 2017
We are working to find teachers to take some exercise classes in the village hall from March/April.So far we may have located potential teachers for Tai Chi, Yoga and Music and Movement for the over 50’s. (Pilates is already covered at Welburn and Westow.) In order to proceed we really need an idea of who would be interested in what and whether an evening or a daytime class would suit best.
Obviously it all depends on the teachers availability and getting sufficient regular committed attendees but if you are interested please get in touch with what class and preferred session timing – info@huttonsambo.com 01653 699769 by the end of February please.
There also seems to be some interest in gymnastics or dance for the under 11’s. If anyone knows someone with the right experience and qualifications and who might like to start a regular class in the hall then again please get in touch. Thanks.
Live performances in the village hall
Through previous consultation – many of you have expressed a wish to have a film club and more live performance in the village hall. We looked for volunteers and support in the previous Bulletin and as yet no one has come forward. If we are to offer this kind of event in the village – we need some extra people to build a team and ease the pressure on the rest of the volunteers and also to ensure that everyone is able to contribute and have their say in what events and activities are arranged.If you can offer a little time then contact info@huttonsambo.com or 0653 699 769

England's Historic Churches by Train - a new book by Murray Naylor
Our very own Murray Naylor has written another book:
ENGLAND’S HISTORIC CHURCHES BY
TRAIN
ENGLAND’S HISTORIC CHURCHES BY
TRAIN
A COMPANION VOLUME TO ENGLAND’S CATHEDRALS BY TRAIN
MURRAY NAYLOR
Travelling across England this book selects thirty-two of our ancient churches,
relating their history and identifying those aspects which a visitor might overlook.
His journeys include the great medieval abbeys at Tewkesbury, Selby and
Hexham; the less well known priories at Cartmel and Great Malvern and other
grand churches severely reduced after the Dissolution of Henry VIII’s reign,
notably at Bridlington and Christchurch. He visits a church at Chesterfield where
the spire leans at a crooked angle and goes to Boston, where the church -
known as the Stump – was a starting point for many who emigrated to America
in the 17th Century.

In describing his journeys by train the author includes information apporopriate to
individual routes and incorporates topics of railway interest relevant to the
development and management of today’s railway systems.
He does so in a manner similar to that adopted in his previous books on
cathedrals.

Venus and the new Moon usher in 2017
The crescent Moon, Venus line up to welcome in 2017. A little later in the evening, when the sky is a bit darker, you can also see Mars taking place in the lineup. This little montage will also repeat in about 28 days time, near the end of January.
