BROADWOODKELLY NEWS AND EVENTS.
NOVEMBER 2024.
PIZZA EVENING.
The village hall hosted a brilliant Pizza evening on Saturday, 26th October, kindly organised by the Estaugh and Sterritt family, along with Christopher Tettenborn. The hall decoration and music put everyone in the mood with an Italian theme. While the delicious home-made pizzas were being cooked outside in two pizza ovens, the guests were kept amused with an Italian themed quiz, while they nibbled on fresh garlic bread made by Christopher. I think we can say everyone had a fantastic time, while also raising £158 for the village hall. A huge thank you to our Pizza chefs James and Ed, also the kitchen staff, Kirstin and Lizzie, and our Baker Christopher, and not to forget the amazing serving staff Alfie, Lexie and Seb.

The Village Hall Committee and Friends of All Hallows will be holding a Christmas Party on Friday, 6th December at 6.00pm for the whole community, and especially to thank everyone who has supported us in the past year.
