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!

A chance to test your general knowledge, but in a fun way suitable for all the family. Presented by the DVCA’s own Graham Eley this will be a wide-ranging and light-hearted quiz!

7pm on Saturday 29th February. Tickets £3 on the door or £15 for a team of up to 6. Refreshments available including licensed bar.

Book in advance from Graham on 07901 896102 or register your team at Dersingham Post Office. Or, turn up on the night.

The next of our regular monthly events will be on this coming Tuesday the 11th February.  Dr Paul Richards, the well known Lynn historian, will be giving a talk about Lynn Minster, from 1100 until the present day. The Minster is still remembered as St Margarets, an iconic King’s  Lynn landmark and this will definitely be a fascinating evening.

The talk will begin at 7.30pm and tickets cost £5 on the door. There will be an interval when tea, coffee and cake will be served and a prize raffle will be drawn. Your refreshments and raffle are included in the ticket price.

Our regular last Friday in the month Tea Dances waltz into the New Year with dances scheduled for Fridays 27th January, 28th February and 27th March. You can pay on the door and it’s just £5 which includes tea, coffee etc and cake. There will be Latin, Sequence and Ballroom style dances with beginners being very welcome. Why not come along and dance your way into 2020!

Every month there’s a chance to win a Village Centre Lottery prize and also the chance to have that warm glow feeling 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 wish-list is never ending and a big thank-you is due to all of you who are helping. Please keep up the good work!

The most recent draw of Lottery prizewinners was made on Tuesday 7th January 2020 at our popular community lunch. Winners are as follows:

First prize, number 49 winning £29.25. Second prize number 33 winning £19.50 and third prize number 41 winning £9.75. 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!

On your own or just feeling a bit lonely on a Sunday afternoon? The Village Centre want to help, and we are introducing a two hour Sunday Social get-together on the second Sunday of each month.

There will be tea and cake, of course, and hopefully a few extras such as board games, cards, crafts etc. There may be some music too and there’s the chance to chat to others, if you wish.

Why not drop in, on Sunday 12th January, 2.00pm – 4.00pm. The cost is just £2.50 per person.

We wish all our users and everyone in the local community the happiest of times in 2020. Thank you for your support in 2019 and we look forward to seeing you at the Centre in the coming months.  A very Happy New Year!

Just in case anyone is thinking of coming to our Ceilidh and Barn Dance this Saturday 26th October, please be aware that the event is now SOLD  OUT! For all those who already have tickets we are looking forward to a great evening, see you then!

Our regular monthly Tea Dances continue to be popular, thanks to the efforts of dance tutor Peg who oversees the event. Whether you’re a veteran of the ballroom floor or just taking your first dance steps, you will be very welcome!

Tickets cost £5 on the door and include tea and cake. The next few dates coming up are Fridays 25th October, 29th November and 27th December.

The draw for the Village Centre Lottery was made today at our Community Lunch. The three lucky winners share the prize fund as follows:

1st Prize number 6 winning £30.00

2nd Prize number 29 winning £20

3rd Prize number 44 winning £10

A bit of a plea from the heart. Lottery subscriptions are diminishing, probably because people think that the Centre is up and running now and that nothing needs to be spent. However, we have a rolling programme of improvements and the purchase of new equipment. More tables and chairs, more kitchen cupboards, a better quality sound system for cinema screenings, these are just a few items that we need to raise money for. So please support our Lottery, it only costs £5 per month and you will be helping the Centre which is here for the benefit of the whole village. Information on how to join or renew a Lottery subscription can be found on our website DersinghamVillageCentre.org.uk/fundraising.html Thanks!
