L2SOTM - The Longparish Second Sunday Of The Month handicap running race

Jack Ellicock, who, at 86, is an example to us all, set off first of 19 runners who enjoyed an excellent race on 8 October. The results, more information about the race and the entry form are in the L2SOTM area in the Longparish Community Association events pages on the village website. Everyone is welcome to the next race on Sunday 12 November. It will start at earlier than usual at 9am because of the Remembrance Day silence at 11am. Jack has kindly offered a bottle shaped prize for the person who improves most.

Jeremy Barber

London Philharmonic Skiffle Orchestra

Forget superstition, Friday 13th October was a lucky day for Longparish. The LPSO entertained over fifty residents with a skilful and amusing musical evening. The four artists played an array of conventional instruments, along with a few more unusual ones: bagpipes, duck, chicken, sheep and watering can. Audience participation highlighted a budding musician, Andrea, who showed her impeccable rhythm on the wash board. The enjoyment of the evening was topped by a delicious supper. The tickets for this event were only £10 for Community Association members.
 
If you enjoyed the evening organised by the Longparish Community Association you may want to put a date in your diary. On Saturday 24th March there is another musical evening, Reg Meuross, Miranda Sykes and John “Rabbit “Bundrick are booked to play in our hall. Check out their sound on www.regmeuross.com.
 

LCA Village events list

For Longparish residents, this edition of Hill & Valley includes a village events list sponsored by the Community Association.  We hope it will give you an easy way to remember what's on in the village.  If you like the idea please let us know and we'll make it a regular feature.

Film Night

Thursday 23rd November

Village Hall –7 for 7.30 pm

SEPARATE LIES (12)

Directed by Julian Fellows (Oscar winner for Gosford Park)
Starring: Rupert Everett, Tom Wilkinson, Emily Watson, Linda Bassett.
 
Successful lawyer, James Manning, appears to have it all. But while he works long hours in London, his young and beautiful wife Anna becomes increasingly bored with life in their Buckinghamshire retreat. Meanwhile upper-class cad William Bule has just returned from America to his ancestral home up the road. So far, so predictable, but then a hit and run killing and subsequent police investigation force all the characters to re-examine their moral certainties with surprising results. First class performances and astute social observation.
 
Tickets (£5 or £4.50 for LCA members) in advance from the shop or on the door. Cash bar.

Twenty members have signed up for Kidz Zone and, with occasional guests, an average of 18 young people attend Club nights. There are a wealth of games to play and people to meet –a great place for winter evenings.

The cost of the minibus and will be subsidised by the Kidz Zone Club.
