All is not what it seems when two couples are thrown together at a quiet country cottage in Hampshire. Add an excess of mother-in-law’s tongue, a sprinkling of pompous estate agent, and a strange lady in tweed unexpectedly dropping into the mix, and you have all the ingredients for a fast-paced, witty, and poignant comedy.

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
The Village Society’s New Year’s Walk will start at the Village Hall at 11.0 a.m. on January 1st!
It will be again led by Clive Blower.
Everyone is welcome – sandwiches and soup will be provided at the end.
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.
