wysall's latest news...

Wysall Social Committee

At the time of writing we are eagerly anticipating the annual village quiz, once again kindly hosted by Gareth (don’t mention football tickets) and once again oversubscribed! A huge shout out to Esther and her helpers as well, for producing the ploughman’s supper.

We are hoping to arrange a curry night in the village hall towards the end of April so watch out for further news on that.

The date of 8th of September has been set for the ever popular annual food fare, so please make a note in your diary and remember. It is never too early to volunteer to help - a great way to get to know people and maintain the village social life that Wysall is renowned for.

Members of the Social committee’s contact details can be found on the village websitehttps://www.wysall.com/village-hall-committee-members.html which has recently been revamped (thank you Stephen) and now includes a calendar of upcoming events.

Finally, but by no means least a big thank you to Ellie Thomson, Esther Cooke, and Debbie Smith for maintaining the planters  of flowers throughout the village and David Eckford  for looking after the flower beds at the front of the village hall.

A big thank you to Karen Noble for organising our Christmas shopping evening.

This has now been running for 2 years and has proved to be a very successful alternative to the daytime Christmas Market. People were very generous with donations to the raffle and as a result we were able to donate £275 to both the Countryside Enterprises at Six Acres (a community interest company owned and operated by people with disabilities) and to Keyworth and District Concern (which co-ordinates and assists local groups in looking after the needs of the elderly, disabled and those less fortunate within our Community).

As we recover from the excesses of Christmas and New Year we are starting to plan our 2024 calendar.
First up is Film Night on 3rd Feb with further showings on 2nd Mar, 6th April, and 4th May. All start at 7.30pm in the village hall. Tickets £2.50 with beer and wine available to buy or BYO. For more info contact Karen on [email protected] or 07966 133840.
The ever popular annual village quiz returns on 23rd Mar at 7.30pm in the village hall when Gareth will again be testing our knowledge. Bring a team of 6 or join one on the night, but book early as we usually have a waiting list! Tickets are £15 and include a ploughman’s supper. They can be bought from Esther 07957755528 or Chris 07957167264.

Thank you

Thank you to all who bought a ticket for the raffle at the shoppingi evening.

Best Kept Village

WINNERS OF THE BEST KEPT VILLAGE

We are delighted to announce that Wysall is the Winner of the Annual Trophy for The Best Kept Village in Nottinghamshire for 2018 in the 300-1,000 population category.

Thirty six villages originally entered the first round of the competition, organised by the Campaign to Protect Rural England and sponsored by Wilkinsons.  Sixteen villages were then selected for the second round which was divided into four sections depending on population size. 

Well done everyone for making such an effort and taking pride in Wysall!

Little Boutique Autumn Fashion Evening

Holy Trinity Church was the perfect setting for The Little Boutique's Autumn Fashion Show.  A full house enjoyed delicious canapés and a glass or two of fizz whilst watching local ladies modelling the latest collections with style!
