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.
