Caerwent Playing Fields Committee

We held our first Cinema Night of the winter, unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control we couldn’t show Over The Hedge but showed Curious George instead to about 30 people.

There shouldn’t be a problem for the next film showings, keep a lookout in the magazine and at the notice boards and posters around the village, dates shown later in the magazine.

Our next Cinema Night is on FRIDAY 17^th NOVEMBER and we will be showing

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 3, cert 12A.

Tickets £3 Concessions £2 

You can visit www.uip.co.uk which shows the films we can rent, if anyone wants to have a look and suggest films you would like, we would be pleased to hear from you. 

This is being written before our Cabaret Night on 21^st October, tickets have sold well, if you missed it you missed what I know will be an excellent night from two very professional acts.

Our next “Night Out” in the Hall is on 11th November When The Library Theatre Touring company is presenting

WIND IN THE WILLOWS – THE MUSICAL

 Tickets £5.00, concessions £3.00, available from 01291 425455 and commencing at 7.30pm. There will be no supper served on this evening.

Sarah & Simon Woodfield from Byeways on School Lane have arranged a Quiz and Curry night on Friday 24^th November, in the hall, to raise funds for the Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Appeal for Bristol Children’s Hospital in memory of their beloved son Sam who was a patient there four years ago. Come along and support this excellent charity.

There is a poster later with all the details.

On the 30^th November we have our Christmas Shopping Night, again a poster elsewhere in this magazine, looks like we have many new and different stalls with gifts galore for all the family including Jewellery, Children’s Toys, Handmade cards, Christmas Decorations, Cosmetics and Welsh Whiskey Liqueurs, admission is £1.50 including a glass of wine and mince pie, accompanied children free.

The children’s Christmas parties will be on the weekend of December 2^nd and 3^rd, details and booking forms on the posters elsewhere in the magazine.

Last year we had 65 children in the young age group and 22 in the older group, and all had a really good time. Please book early as it takes Lesley a lot of time organizing for these 2 days.

I am pleased to say our new volunteers on the committee are joining in very well and it is now much easier for us “old hands” now we have some help.

I am also very pleased to tell you we secured a grant towards the deaf loop system of £350 from the Welsh Church Fund of Monmouthshire County Council and a “slightly” higher amount of £12,000 towards the car park extension, which is going to cost us in the region of £16,000

So, please, we need your on going support to raise this extra money.

Does anyone have any unwanted Christmas decorations they do not want and would like to donate them to the hall? If you do, please contact one of the committee members. Joan Hereford very kindly gave us a Christmas tree last year, but we are a bit short of hanging decorations.

You can contact us through the community website

www.caerwentcom.com where all the information about forthcoming events is also  shown.

Congratulations to the October winners of the 200 CLUB

We now have some more members of the 200 CLUB, but it would be good if we have some more then we could increase the prize money. The easiest way to join is to fill out a standing order, or pay Muriel at the post office monthly if you don’t want to pay the £12.00 annually.

We still have numbers available. Please contact Lesley Evans on 01291 420327. Remember the more people in it – the more the prize money will be.

We hope to see you in the hall soon.
