Village Hall News
A RATHER SPECIAL LOCKED CUPBOARD in the Village Hall has been cleared of its
contents so that the Quilting Society can store its irons and ironing boards in
safety. The Committee does try to cooperate with users whenever possible and
does go out of its way to be helpful.
However the apparent easy going affability of the Committee can so easily be misunderstand. One local family has taken advantage of it by indulging in a number of small well-oiled swerves and sidesteps which were at the time quite timeconsuming and irritating. No doubt the family is congratulating itself on being so smart! We were not impressed.
Now to return to the aforesaid locked cupboard. Inside we discovered a couple of interesting Village Relics. First was the FUN RUN CUP. Some people still lament the loss of the village's rich past and in particular they quote the Fun Run. (I have never thought it much fun to run four miles). Because there appears to be such a demand the Committee will organise a Fun Run this year if a minimum of 12 runners of any age or sex agree to run. This is a great chance to have your name engraved on the cup.
The second item was the "MISS SWAFFHAM PRIOR" Sash. I don't when the last competition was held and I doubt if the traditional beauty queen contest will go down well today. But there could be a new approach if a minimum of either 6 men or 6 ladies entered. The contest would be for the most stylish, the most alluring, the most outrageous, the most colourful, the most of anything you like. It would be a wide open contest and the judges would be a broad spread of the village.
