Where's the news???    In Oct 2017 the village hall committee and trustees thought it would be appropriate to state that even though there are always loads of events and developments going on at the hall, they simply don't have the free time available to always post news updates. We would encourage our community to always check the "Upcoming Events" page which is generally kept up to date with news of what's coming up at the hall, and to also like the hall's Facebook page (search for Rous Lench Village Hall and then click the Like button).

​Many thanks for your ongoing support!

Wychavon District Council approve £1,500 grant to Rous Lench Village Hall for storage shed

0 Comments

​The Rous Lench Village Hall trustees, management committee members, and all residents and users of the hall who are interested in its continued improvement are delighted that Wychavon District Council has confirmed approval of a £1,500 grant from the New Homes Bonus scheme to purchase an insulated heavy duty storage shed at the hall.

The lack of storage space within the hall has long been an issue that has hampered its usage and flexibility due to the need to store tables, chairs, stage sections and electronic kit, among other items, in publicly accessible and exposed parts of the hall.  A weather tight, insulated shed will make it possible to store many, if not all, of these items in a secure and protected area where they can be accessed on an as-needed basis.

A very big thank you to Wychavon District Council for the grant, and to our local Parish Council for its support on the request.

David Smith provided a thoroughly researched, informative and fascinating talk on the Gallipoli campaign of 1915-1916. It was also well attended by over 40 people.  

Rous Lench Village Hall thanks David and the Lenches' World War 1 Commemoration Group for organising it and for holding it in our hall, which of course was already in existence at the time of the Great War.

Comedy Night at Rous Lench Village Hall - "From Here To Absurdity" - Saturday, 16 May, 7:30pm

0 Comments

Picture
For those who fancied live comedy that’s a bit different to regular stand-up the satirical sketch show From Here to Absurdity pushed every button.

The show lasted for about 90 minutes and comprised about 30 sketches and songs, written and assembled by Richard Kelly –a politics lecturer at Manchester Grammar School and a freelance contributor to Private Eye and the Spectator. The material focused on the assorted idiocies of modern life, targeting (for example) political correctness, prattish ramblers, rapacious estate agents, irritating telephone salesmen, oily counsellors, brutal gynaecologists, sad round-robin writers, deaf parents, two-faced career women, men who can’t cook, men who can’t speak, birth, marriage, divorce and death, to name a few. 

Following its success at the Edinburgh Fringe, Buxton, Chester and York comedy festivals as well as numerous pubs, clubs and theatres across the country, it has now had a resounding success in The Lenches!  Turnout for the evening was excellent, and feedback has been extremely positive from all attendees.

A big thank you to all of the organisers (Fran Herdman, Corrine White and Caroline Moysey in particular), and of course also to our chef extraordinaire David Moysey who whipped another of his specialities for our very hungry crowd.

Gordon Giltrap Sell-Out Show at Rous Lench Village Hall!!!

Gordon Giltrap, the world-famous and magnificently accomplished guitarist came to Rous Lench village hall for a sell-out show on Sat 14th March. 

It was the only gig that Gordon played in Worcestershire on his current tour, so given his popularity among fans it was wonderful to welcome many new and first-time visitors to our lovely hall. There were of course many lucky local people who also managed to procure tickets.

Gordon Giltrap’s most famous piece of music will be remembered as the theme to the BBC ‘s “Holiday” programme but he has written many more wonderful pieces. The evening was a mix of music and anecdotes from about his touring and playing with other great bands and musicians.

A Fladbury pie and pea supper was served in the interval, and word has it that the folks at the Fladbury kitchen truly outdid themselves for us.

The bar was open all night, helping to make it a fantastic evening. 

We feel really proud to have been able to host such a great performer in our village and hope that we acquired many new fans of our venue who will come along and enjoy future shows and events.

Please Be Watchful

Last night at 2:30am (27 Feb) a Land Rover Defender was stolen from the drive in front of a house in Rous Lench (Blacksmith's Cottage).  The police were called and arrived 15 minutes later. The promptness of the police is reassuring.

The stolen Defender is a long wheelbase version, T reg, dark metallic green with a bright orange print on the spare wheel cover.  Please keep a look-out for it.

A few years ago there was another incident in which a car was stolen from someone's drive in Rous Lench, but it was perpetrated in broad daylight.  One of the criminals distracted the car's owner by knocking on their door and claiming to have had an accident which damaged a part of their property wall.  There was no discernible damage.  Apparently, while the owner was examining the supposedly damaged wall, another criminal entered their momentarily unattended house and found the car keys inside. Shortly afterwards the car's owner discovered that the car had been stolen.

Please remain vigilant.

Another Super Quiz Night

First-time Rous Lench Village Hall quiz master Paddy Twist entertained 7 very enthusiastic teams with an excellent seven-round (one of which was over the supper break) two-halves quiz.  The winning team, "I Know Nothing", composed of Jenny and Paul Smith and Claire and Darin McLean, were quite surprised but pleased to discover that thanks to a huge resurgence in the final two rounds they had just eked by the 2nd place team to take 1st place.  Many thanks to Paddy for doing such a superb job putting together the quiz! 

Many thanks also to Caroline Moysey for preparing a delicious chili supper that was enjoyed by all during the break.
