On Saturday 15 July Nick Blackwell officially opened Blackwells, 84 years after his great-grandfather performed a similar ceremony when he opened the original Men’s and Women’s Social Club in 1922.
Representatives from all village organisations as well as all the volunteers who played such a large part in raising funds and starting the repair and refurbishment of the premises were present as guests of the Trustees and joined Nick in toasting the future success of the club.
Blackwells now has a membership of 820 and has been a popular venue for coffees and cream teas for both residents and visitors throughout the summer.
A regular quiz night is held on Sunday evenings and a weekly bingo evening is planned. Paul and Di Hewetson also hope to arrange a regular lunch for pensioners this autumn. For further details phone Paul or Di at Blackwells on 01923 264708
