Holy Moly and the Crackers

We had been trying to get Holy Moly for Harmston Memorial Hall for a little while and they did not disappoint. They crackled with talent and energy. Seven extremely talented musicians entertained a full audience for two hours. A wonderful mixture of music ranging from Gypsy bohemian folk to gentle and thoughtful ballads all marked with their own unique style. Great fun and intelligent music fused into an absolutely marvellous evening enjoyed by all.

Next up is Snowed In - Jez Lowe and the Bad Pennies,well known at national festivals and particularly for their Christmas show. Thursday 8th December. 7.45 Bar opens at 7.00. Tickets £9
It will sell out so get your tickets booked with Keith 01522 722462 or Jo 01522 722919 or collect at the Thorold Arms. If you have not been before treat yourself you will not be disappointed!

Your village needs you!.....

At the Annual General Meeting on 24th November 2016, 6pm, some important positions will become vacant on the Harmston Memorial Hall Committee. We really need some of you to ‘step-up’!

In addition to specific positions we always need general committee members who manage the ongoing running of the Hall and the events it offers. Don’t worry if you cannot offer much time, or if you might struggle to attend meetings – every little helps and the roles can be as flexible as necessary.

If you are not able to attend the AGM but are interested in helping, please let our Chairman, David Robertson know on 01522 721420.

Please do consider ‘doing your bit’ for your community and volunteering to join us!
