Riding for the Disabled Barton group are hosting a Fun Virtual Race Night with Bar and Raffle on Saturday 18th Feb 18.30-23.00 at Haslingfield Village Hall.

This will help with their confidence, co-ordination and balance and set them up to be more relaxed and ready to enjoy their riding. Tickets are £5 per adult from laura_j_griffiths@yahoo.co.uk

So you think you know Switzerland Speaker: Edmund Brookes
Think of Switzerland and you immediately think of the Matterhorn, the Eiger, St Moritz and Cuckoo Clocks. There is much more to Switzerland; there are plenty of lakes and mountains but many are off the normal tourist routes, with splendid vistas and stunning sites where trains and Post Buses do not venture. With a little careful planning all are readily accessible. The picture is a teaser, but just 20 miles from St Moritz and 1000 feet above the valley floor! All will be revealed!
Village Society talks are open to all and we look forward to welcoming you.
Entrance: members, students, children free; visitors £2.50 – includes coffee/biscuits
Where did you get that hat? A talk about memories of a traveller and collector about things bought in strange places and the memories they evoke… Most of us collect odd items as we travel on holiday or for work. This talk will use items collected in many strange or familiar places to evoke memories of the journeys, and remind us of the pressures and problems of life in other countries.
This is the latest travel talk by Haslingfield resident, Michael Coles. Michael’s talks are always very popular. Please do come along. We look forward to welcoming you all to a friendly and interesting evening. Entrance: members, students, children free, visitors £2.50 – includes coffee/biscuits.
