The former Primary School building is now the busy village Community Centre.
Not only is it the home of the Parish Council, the County Library, the Community
Playgroup and the Police contact point, but there are many rooms, large and small,
for hire. Many societies, clubs and organisations meet here during the week and
there is a rich variety of activities available. These range from bridge, yoga and painting groups to tai chi and reiki. It is also the weekly meeting place for the village Guides
and Brownies.
There is a very successful community cafe that provides a very
reasonably priced home-cooked meal three days a week and an Organic Vegetarian
Cafe open on some Friday lunchtimes. Both cafes, held in the mainhall of the
Community Centre, are staffed by volunteers. Elderly residents enjoy the various
activities and interesting speakers at the twice-monthly meeting of the Thursday Club. Some members are brought to the Centre by volunteer drivers. Once a month there is
a Community Centre market and car boot sale, an excellent opportunity to meet up
with friends and neighbours and maybe find a bargain!
