Northiam
Library: Northiam Library is operating out of the Bowls Club for a period whilst remedial works are going on in the Library building. It will be open the usual times; 2-4pm on Thursdays and Saturdays, so do stock up for your Christmas reading! If you don’t know where the Bowls Club is – it’s tucked away in the Playing Fields just behind the children’s play area.
Mama Mia!: Tickets are nearly sold out for Northiam Conservation Society’s Mama Mia singalong on Saturday 19th January. Tickets are available from Sarah Giles on 01797 252526 or email [email protected]. Adults £7.50; children £4

Quizzes: Knowing how keen Northiam is on a good Quiz – you might like to pop these dates in your new diaries: FOSM 23rd February, Bowls Club 23rd March, Bonfire 13th April.
Helping Hands: Don’t forget that Helping Hands is there to offer just that on occasions when a little extra help is needed. If you need help, big or small, call 07522 473173 and the person at the end of the phone can let you know if it’s something they can help with, and what they can do.
Keeping Fit: This is probably not the time to be thinking about the diverse ways of fitness on offer within the village, but when you are thinking about New Year’s Resolutions, you don’t have to travel far to find an enjoyable form of exercise to suit you. Check out the Village Hall and Pretious Hall websites to see the range of classes available – and there are private coaches here as well. And don’t forget that walking is one of the best forms of exercise and we are blessed with a wonderful network of footpaths. There is a series of walks leaflets produced by the Footpath Group on sale in the Parish Office at 25p each, which are a good introduction to local paths, and, of course, the Footpath Group regularly offers guided walks in the locality.
