Village Hall news
This year celebrates the 25th anniversary of the opening of Sibford Village Hall. It has been in continuous use since 1957 providing an attractive building in which all kinds of groups have met to enjoy friendship in the company of those sharing their interests. To mark this special Silver Anniversary.year, the Village Hall Committee are arranging a series of events which we hope will appeal to as many villagers as possible.
Dr. Agnew set the ball rolling most successfully last month when he gave us an entertaining talk and wine-tasting.
Please book Saturday March 13th for your next evening with us. For an inclusive price of £1.50 you can enjoy the Belvedere Singers in Concert, a glass of wine and a light, tasty supper. The Belvedere Singers are coming from London in order to treat us to an informal programme of light music from English madrigals through to Beatles, Blues and Barbers Shop.
Instead of our Village Fete, normally held in September, we have decided to hold an Open Village Weekend earlier in the summer. A bumper programme of_events is well in hand, including an Open Village Day, and we shall keep everyone informed a little nearer the time.
We hope to be able to select a Miss Sibford from among our beautiful Sibford young ladies, who will be crowned during-the Open Village Day. The Youth Club have kindly agreed to organise a Disco evening on Monday 24th May when Miss Sibford will be chosen by a panel of independant personalities from Banbury. They will be looking for an attractive, pleasant young lady, aged between 14 and 21. In next month’s Scene we shall include an entry form, so please tell your friends and let us have a really good number of entries.
Fine. Breakfasted in Oxford Street after an hour’s walk and then visited the Royal Academy. Walked thence to Army and Navy Hotel, where I dined with W. Wingate – meeting his brother Reginald on my way who was going to dine with some friends. After dinner Wingate and I went to the Globe Theatre to see a comedy called The Private Secretary, which was very amusing. I walked back as far as the Army and Navy Hotel with W. where I took leave of him, without going in, as it was late. He has arranged to leave England with his wife on the 15th July, having arranged to leave his children at Southsea. I then walked on to my rooms and was very tired when I arrived, the London stones being very hot and hard to the feet after the country roads I have been accustomed to for so long.
As we were coming out of the theatre Mr William Hutton, an old Oxford pupil, who has since then succeeded to his paternal inheritance of some £4000 a year, accosted me. He had seen us enter the theatre and waited till we came out. His wife and his aunt were with him, and he introduced us to them. He was in town to consult Dr Sir W. Gull for some complaint of the chest.
