Burns Night We may be a long way from Scotland, but the Burns Night Supper has become something of a tradition at Orston Village Hall. On 23rd January, we welcomed an enthusiastic crowd come to enjoy good food and entertainment. A full house saw the ritual piping in of the haggis and listened in awe as Stuart Davison gave the Address to a Haggis in his own inimitable style before the ceremonial cutting of said haggis! As usual the food went down a treat – the traditional “haggis, tatties and neaps” was tasty and filling! Particular thanks are due to Wendy Richardson, who organised and cooked the haggis. After the food, the now replete revellers were encouraged on to the dance floor by the band, to work off the calories they had consumed! With much confusion and more laughter, the ceilidh was soon in full swing and at the end of the evening everyone went home exhausted but happy! See the photos below.
You can look forward to another fun evening if you come and see our
next Village Ventures event on Saturday March 6th.
This will be an evening of music and mime from Loon Music and Mimi. Their production is “Phileas P. Souper” – it takes its inspiration from the silent movie era. Two miming clown artistes travel hysterically and magically around the world, almost literally in about 80 minutes. If you enjoy great comedy and equally great music, this show is for you. If you’d like to know more you can go to their website www.loonmusic.co.uk.

We look forward to welcoming you.

New Year’s Eve Goes with a Bang!
The annual village get-together was a great success yet again. The hall was full, people had been busy in the afternoon dressing their tables, installing chandeliers, candles, flowers and much more. It looked a veritable treat. If the food on my table was anything to go by then starvation is a thing of the past! As nobody came over from other tables to steal ours I assume they were similarly catered for as well.
The usual anticipation welled just before midnight and as the clock struck everyone sang “Auld Lang Syne” with great gusto.

An excellent event, with our thanks due to the Village Hall Committee.

Some photos from the evening below. If anyone has any others of the evening they don’t mind sharing then please email them to me. Thank you.

Lament - Certainly Not!
Friday 6th November saw another great event at Orston Village Hall.
Lament, a latin jazz group drawing on influences from Brazil and Spain, provided a fantastic night’s entertainment. The five piece band had the floor filled with dancers from Orston and further away.

The event was promoted by Orston Village Hall and Village Ventures.
