Our first theatrical event was a resounding success, I am sure you would agree!
Everyone enjoyed a fantastic performance by the Ridlington Players of Miss Marbles ‘Death at the Deanery’. This was a first for the village and the cast enjoyed performing to a full-house at Manton Village Hall. I am sure there will be a new category for Oscar nominations next year!
Well done everyone and thank you for entertaining us with your spectacular performance.
Please find below the minutes of the Ridlington Parish Council (Planning) meeting that took place on Thursday, October 28th.
Our Walking Group will have a break over the winter months and resume officially in April 2022.
If the weather is pleasant and conditions good underfoot and you do fancy a walk over the winter, please contact any of the ‘regulars’ to arrange a trip out.
The Help For Heroes fundraiser held on October 29th raised a total of £350.
Capt. Gary Rutherford of the 1st Military Working Dog Regiment from St George’s Barracks gave a very interesting talk about the important role working dogs play in the military and his own experiences of 20 years service including tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Gary covered the breeds used for different purposes and stressed that wherever possible retired dogs were re-homed, usually with their former handler but civilians can also apply to adopt a retired dog. If you are interested in re-homing one you could contact Gary.
Gary’s colleague Stacey brought along his retired working dog Bodo a Malinois (Belgian Shepherd) whose very affectionate nature in licking and fussing with some of the audience belied his previous role as a ‘bite’ dog!
A very big thanks to all who attended and made donations. The finger food afterwards was tasty and plentiful. A most informative and eye opening evening.

We regret to advise that the Village Hall Team Quiz has been cancelled.
This is because of the recent increases in COVID19 cases nationally. Socially distancing the tables indoors could prove difficult. Therefore out of respect towards all participants, it was felt that this event should be deferred to a later date.
Thank you,
Dave Roome
