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!
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!
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.
In January 2013 Haslingfield Village saw the return of Mini Soccer for children between the ages of 5 and 7.

Local Haslingfield Couple will take over the running of the Little Rose on the 15th July. At the same time, the pub will become a Freehouse. Neil and Sue Poole have lived in the village for 35 years and are very experienced local business people.

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?

A fantail dove (similar to the one in this photo) has been spotted over the last two days in New Road, Haslingfield. He is ringed and fairly tame, is probably local and has possibly escaped from an aviary. If he belongs to you, or you know of one missing, please ring 01223 870510 or email disyridg@gmail.com. Thank you.
This little dog was seen running around The Elms, Haslingfield at 11.30 am this morning without a collar. Does he belong to you? Do you know who he belongs to? If so, please email Amanda at: y.hourmand@virgin.net, giving your telephone number. Thanks.
Bob Branch, Chairman of the Haslingfield Parish Council reported: “Skanska have completed draft drawings for the first stage of traffic calming measures. They have been reviewed by HPC and are being amended slightly. The drawings will be discussed with CCC and CCC will then prepare draft Road Traffic Orders for publication and consultation. At present things are on track for completion of the work in late summer or autumn of this year. HPC are now considering possible measures for a second stage of work.”
