March Lottery Results
Every month there’s a chance to win a Village Centre Lottery prize and also the chance to know that you’re helping raise funds for the Village Centre. Why raise funds? Because we are constantly trying to improve the level of equipment at the Centre, so that it becomes an even better resource for the community. The current project is increased storage space in the kitchen, which we need because our community lunches are ever more popular.
The most recent draw of Lottery prizewinners was made on Tuesday 17th March 2020 at our regular community lunch. Winners are as follows:
First prize, number 44 winning £26.25. Second prize number 28 winning £17.50 and third prize number 17 winning £8.75. Congratulations to the lucky prize winners. Subscribe to our Lottery and you could join those winners, plus you’ll be giving us a big helping hand. Thank you!
Wednesday Yoga Cancelled
Our Wednesday Yoga tutor Alison has decided that she will take a break while the current Coronavirus situation is ongoing. Alison says:
“Due to the recent report of 3 cases of Covid19 in the QEH Kings Lynn, I have decided to suspend teaching yoga for the time being.
As most of you know my daughter has Cystic Fibrosis and I also teach a vulnerable group too.
I’ve thought long and heard about what to do, but health comes first.
If you can log on to my Facebook page “medulla yoga” I will be posting the classes on there for you to practice at home if you so wish. This will be done free of charge. Please note however that if you injure yourself whilst practising at home I am not liable for the injury you may sustain. (Legal bit done!)
So stay well everyone.
Hopefully see you all soon
Alison xxxx”
If we hear of any further cancellations or changes in the situation they will be posted here on our Blog and on our Facebook page. Meanwhile we wish everyone continued good health. Keep washing those hands and let’s keep Dersingham safe!

Sorry, but the Centre is now closed due to the Covid-19 Coronavirus situation. We will post updates here as soon as we are able, but we do not expect to reopen until at least the end of April. If you participate in a regular weekly class, please check with your tutor. Do not come to the Centre, as it will be closed.
Business as usual
Obviously, with the ongoing health issues at the moment, many people will be concerned about public venues, meetings, group classes etc. At Dersingham Village Centre we are following the government health guidelines and remaining open and operational until such time as that advice changes.
Centre users may like to check with their course tutors to make sure that classes are going ahead. Should we hear of cancellations we will post the information here on our Blog and also on the Village Centre Facebook page.
Meanwhile we encourage all Centre visitors to wash their hands and observe sensible hygiene precautions wherever possible. Let’s keep Dersingham fit and healthy!
