The book club meets once a month to discuss a book chosen by one of its
members. Each month a different member chooses a different book.
Meetings usually take place at one of the member's houses.
If you are interested in the Aston Abbotts book then please contact April
who can give you more information about it.
The Thursday coffee morning in the Village Hall has become very popular
since its inception around 2004. It runs from 10 am until 12 every
Thursday .
Tea, coffee, cakes, biscuits and often bacon rolls are on offer - all at
bargain prices.
The coffee mornings are particularly popular with older residents because
younger villages are usually at work. But all ages are welcome.
The summer ball is a biennial event held around the time of the Aston
Abbotts fete. This is superbly organised by Frank McManus, with help from
his team of volunteers. It is a black-tie event with a meal, a bar, live music,
and a charity auction.
The Summer Ball is held in the grounds of The Firs, by kind permission of
Mrs Elizabeth McManus. The ball is in aid of charity. Originally funds went
towards building a footpath at the side of the road leading down to the
A418. More recently the ball has been in aid of McMillan Cancer Support.
Details of upcoming Summer Ball events are usually posted
on our news page.
