CamSight House-to-House collection
A very big “Thank You” to everyone who contributed to the collection in Haslingfield and Harlton in June. A record amount of £1,619.61 was collected and a further £200.00 will be recouped by CamSight as a result of the kind people who Gift Aided their donations. In case you have any worries, CamSight WILL NOT contact you as a result of having your address!
We are extremely grateful to the friends who have knocked on your doors and collected the money. It’s not an easy job! Please click Read More below for more info. Continue reading CamSight House-to-House collection
Summer Events at Country Kitchen
Country Kitchen is hosting 2 supper events, following on from our previous ‘Steak & Honour’ burger night which was a great success.We are delighted to have Steak & Honour join us again on Thursday 24th July, 4.30-8pm. They will be serving proper burgers made with local produce and a vegetarian option is also available; so please look out for their famous bright red Citroen H van. And there’s a rumour that we will have a local jazz quartet to listen to while we all queue up….
Then on the 14 August, we’re doing something similar with ‘Fired up Pizza’ who serve wood fired pizza out of their airstream caravan. They fire their oven with ‘hotlogs’ from Cambridge Woodworks at Penn Farm Studios, so everyone is doing their bit for sustainability!
Would you like to be part of Jack and the Beanstalk?
On 27, 28 and 29 November, we will be performing the panto, Jack and the Beanstalk. Tomorrow night, Thursday, 17 July, we will be reading through the script at 7.45 p.m. in Haslingfield Village Hall. (Auditions take place next Thursday 24 July – same time, same place).
We would love to see some new faces (as well as some old ones!), so if you think you may enjoy being part of this show – on stage or back stage, why not pop down to the Village Hall to find out what would be involved. No previous experience is necessary – just lots of enthusiasm!
APOLOGY!
Haslingfield Village Society did not open the Bakehouse and show archives as advertised on July 5th because of the weather (it was raining). We do plan to be open, on Well House Meadow, between 10 am and 12 noon on Saturday August 2nd.

Haslingfield Parish Council and the Great War
It is still a matter of some debate on how much the Great War impacted on life in a rural community like Haslingfield. John Beynon, in his ‘The Call to Arms’, outlines the impact on individual families whose menfolk either enlisted or who sought, through exemption, not to enlist. But was there a collective impact?
