Thank you to all who attended the Macmillan Coffee Morning and who also bought raffle tickets or made donations. We also thank those who donated raffle prizes and cakes, as well as the many volunteer helpers who served the refreshments.
GRAND TOTAL RAISED: £405!
Thank you again for supporting this tremendous cause.
The Post Office session is on THURSDAYS 09:00 – 11:00am every week from now on, as it previously operated.
We very much hope that residents will use the Post Office service including parents, the school staff, trustees and the wider community.
We have now re-established the Foyer café alongside the Post Office sessions, thanks to a team of volunteers who have agreed to help run it.
Please try to support the Post Office because this is definitely a case of use or lose it!
In addition, we are told that the mobile butcher’s van will call in at the Parish Hall car park on a Thursday morning.

There is a public meeting on Tuesday 9th August at 7pm at Warcop Parish Hall, where a representative will come and talk us through the project and answer any questions residents have.
B4RN is a not for profit company who use government funding to help communities get superfast broadband to each property. The service once signed up costs £33 per month.
As it’s government funded, we need a large proportion of the residents in the parish to sign up/come along and express interest in the project.
Here is a link to a poster with more information about the scheme:

People from near and far flocked to Warcop’s fifth annual Art & Craft Exhibition over the Bank Holiday weekend. Visitors were treated to a fantastic range of arts and crafts produced by local artists and craftspeople.
New this year was an impressive letterpress machine demonstrated by Charles Blackett-Ord. George Bennett’s hobby of making walking sticks also interested visitors. As well as a full display of local arts and crafts, all pupils from Warcop C of E Primary School exhibited a piece of their work. Visitors were asked to vote for their favourite piece by an adult and a child. Refreshments were, as ever, delicious and highly popular, as were the workshops and demonstrations.
David Keetley, organiser, said “The exhibition was really successful with many visitors and excellent sales for those who sold their work. After a 3-year gap, it was great to be back and I’d like to express my thanks to the many volunteers who helped to make the event run so smoothly.” The exhibition raised over £2000 which will go to support the running costs of the Parish Hall.
I’m pleased to announce that the cinema will restart on Thursday 17 February and I hope you will be able to make it. Here are the details of all the films that will be screened this season:
Thursday 17 February
Spencer (12A)
A drama starring Kristen Steward as Diana, Princess of Wales
The marriage between Princess Diana and Prince Charles has long since grown cold. Though rumours of affairs and a divorce abound, peace is ordained for the Christmas festivities at the Queen’s Sandringham estate. There’s eating and drinking, shooting and hunting. Diana knows the game, but this year, things will be profoundly different.
Thursday 17 March
Respect (PG)
A biopic starring Jennifer Hudson
Following the rise of Aretha Franklin’s career — from a child singing in her father’s church choir to her international superstardom — it’s the remarkable true story of the music icon’s journey to find her voice.
Thursday 21 April
Saving Grace (PG)
A comedy starring Brenda Blethan, Bill Bailey & Martin Clunes
Following the sudden death of her husband, Grace has been left with a manor on the Cornish Coast – and the massive, suffocating mountain of debt her husband had been secretly amassing. Now, with creditors and repossessors on her heels, Grace is faced with the prospect of losing everything. Desperate times call for desperate measures!

A drama starring Will Smith
Armed with a clear vision and a brazen, 78-page plan, Richard Williams is determined to write his two daughters, Venus and Serena, into history.

Together, the Williams family defies seemingly insurmountable odds and the prevailing expectations laid before them.
