The annual Harvest Supper in Lurgashall Village Hall is a great tradition in the Parish and a lovely celebration of the end of summer.
If you’d like to join the Supper, you can get your tickets at the village shop.
As this is always a very popular event, best to book early for a wonderful feast in great company!
LURGASHALL VILLAGE HALL is very proud to present an evening with world-famous Photographer and Author
JON NICHOLSON
“I just walk around…..”
…is how Jon explains what he does to get his amazing photographs.
Formerly with leading photographic agencies and a national newspaper, Jon now works freelance.
His 35 year career has focused on SPORTS photography and SPORTING PERSONALITIES, world TRAVEL and coverage of NEWS events with the UN and UNICEF.
Come and hear him talk about his work – his experiences of the shoot; the ethics of photography and the changes that digital technology has brought.
And just enjoy seeing his wonderful photographs…!
Tickets @ £5 from Lurgashall Village Shop or on the door

This September is a busy month for the Village Hall.
Apart from the usual events, on FRIDAY 14th, we have an evening with master-photographer, JON NICHOLSON (see separate post).
On the 26th, our AFTERNOON TEA is a Bring-and-Buy in aid of MACMILLAN.
On the 27th, the Parish Council has a meeting open to the public – do come along and have your say!
*FILM NIGHT SPECIAL* on FRIDAY, 28th, when we are screening ‘EDIE’ a wonderful new film starring Shelia Hancock. We’re thrilled to say that the film’s producer, MARK STOTHERT, will be here with us to introduce the film, and take questions afterwards.
It’s high summer and halfway through the year already!
But the Village Hall is still busy:
Apart from the regular monthly Film Nights and Afternoon Teas,
the *VILLAGE LUNCH* Ladies invite you to ‘Bring a Friend for Free’ to their delicious Lunch on 9th July – surely an invitation not to be declined!
The *VILLAGE HALL* AGM on 10th July is a Public Meeting, so do come along to support all those on the Management Committee who work so hard to keep our Village Hall alive and buzzing!
On 11th July there is a *PARISH COUNCIL* Meeting, which is open to the public. Both organisations value YOUR input.
And before we know it, it will be August, so we hope everyone is busy in their gardens, potting sheds and kitchens getting ready to exhibit at our 35th Annual *HORTICULTURAL SHOW* on Saturday 18th August. And there are fun classes for children to enter, too. (Schedules available from the Village Shop.)
In the Village Hall it’s AGM time: May sees the Parish Council AGM; and the LRA AGM is in June. Both meetings are open to the public.
So do PLEASE come along to have YOUR say. Both organisations need YOUR input.
May’s film will be “Dunkirk”; June’s film to be decided.
The LRA (Lurgashall Recreation Association) is holding its popular fundraising supper and Quiz Night on Saturday 5 May – postponed from earlier in the spring due to the inclement weather. If you would like to attend, please contact Malcolm Caird.
MARCH has seen:
APRIL offers the Horticultural Club’s Spring Show, (STOP PRESS: change of date to Thurs. 19 April); and the LRA AGM, when we’ll hear the latest news of what’s going on in the Jubilee Field.
***STOP PRESS******Rose and Sprog’s EASTER BINGO***
Saturday, 24th March in the Village Hall.
Doors open 7pm, eyes down 7.30pm.
Always good fun, with great prizes to win – but EXTRA PRIZES are always hugely appreciated, so if YOU would like to donate a prize, please deliver it to Rose and Sprog at No. 8, Greengates.

It’s now only a few days before the Lurgashall Village Shop re-opens shop as the village’s very own Community Shop, and we cannot do this without the help of volunteers.
Following on from the public meeting on 8 Feb., all those who offered to volunteer with the village shop – in whatever capacity – are invited along to a meeting at the village hall on Tuesday 20 February, 7.30pm. Doors and bar open 7pm.
Since the first meeting at the end of October, and in response to the fantastic feedback from the questionnaires, the Lurgashall Village Shop committee (LVS) has been working hard to ensure that we can provide a thriving village shop for the community and surrounding area.
There will be a public meeting to update everyone on Thursday 8th February at 7.30 pm at Lurgashall Village Hall.
Lurgashall Village Shop Committee is: Sophie Jowett (Chair), Malcolm Caird, Anthony Crandon, Annabel Grout, Sally Ohlson and Hennie Cooper
