Raise money for the Village Hall when you do your internet Christmas shopping.

This year the village hall committee has been asking people in the village to do their  internet shopping via Easyfundraising to raise money for the hall. We have already raised £140 and would like to thank all those people who have contributed to this. Just think how much we could raise if more people sign up to Easyfundraising to do their Christmas Shopping. Here’s how to go about it…….

  1. Go to https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/hambledonvillagehallsurrey/ and join for free.
  2. Save the site to your favourites or download the reminder which will then pop up every time you visit the site of a participating shop.
  3. Every time you shop online, first go to the Easyfundraising website then type in the name of the shop or site you want. You will then be taken to  their website and can start shopping as usual. That’s all you need to do. It really is just one extra click of a button to raise money for the Village Hall.

After you’ve checked out, that retailer will make a donation to the Village Hall Fund (generally between 1% and 5% of the amount you have just spent) with no extra cost to you. A huge number of charities, schools and other good causes are signed up to Easyfundraising and most major retailers participate eg John Lewis, Amazon, Marks and Spencer. Easyfundraising itself is not a charity but a profit-making organisation which takes payments from the retailers which support them. Their website states that they don’t take any financial information from people using them to shop as all transactions will be with the retailer not Easyfundraising.

Hambledon Entertainment Galore

There are a busy few days of entertainment coming up in the shire, with something for everyone.

Tickets are still available for “BOUNCERS” at the Village Hall on Saturday evening. Set in 1984, John Godber’s classic comic drama tells the story of a typical Northern nightclub and the colourful characters that inhabit its dance-floor. You can purchase tickets for £10 at the Village Shop or on the door on the night. Bring some cash for the bar, all bar proceeds benefit the Village Hall and the Village Shop.

Sunday afternoon brings with it the monthly Jazz at the Harriers. David Kirby and his friends will be playing from 3pm to 5pm. Maybe, if the sun stays out, we’ll be in the garden.

Tuesday 10th at 8pm is the monthly quiz at The Merry Harriers. Come along and see if you can beat the team from the the Village Shop (everyone did last month….).

Fund Raiser for Hambledon Village Hall

A company called “Travelling Trends” will be hosting a fashion show in the Village Hall on Wednesday 27 September, 7pm for 7.30pm start – High Street clothes at bargain prices. Come and see the season’s fashions, try on and buy on the night at greatly reduced prices to help raise funds for the Village Hall.

Something for all (well – ladies aged 25-95!). Refreshments and an excellent raffle (prizes to include a manicure). We will be looking for some local ladies to model too – contact Mary Grove 01483 415815 if you would like to try the catwalk!

Tickets will be available shortly at £6. In the meantime make a note in your diary!
