We are looking for someone who would like to join the village hall committee in the role of Treasurer. This is a voluntary position.

The Treasurer looks after day-to-day finances, including all payments and invoicing and also prepares a profit & loss statement after each event. Annually, the Treasurer compiles and files our financial return with the Charity Commission.

The committee usually meets every three months and runs various different events throughout the year.

No formal accountancy training is required for this role but the Treasurer needs to be happy working with numbers and spreadsheets etc. An understanding of accounting packages would also be very useful.

If you think you might like to join our happy team and to find out more about what the role involves, please contact Ruth Canham on [email protected]

Just to let everyone know that due to lack of ticket sales, presumably due to people being very busy at this time of year, we are cancelling our showing of Elf this Sunday, Dec 10th.

‘Eccentric and individualistic, Barbie is exiled from Barbieland because of her imperfections. When her home world is in peril, Barbie returns with the knowledge that what makes her different also makes her stronger.’

The village hall committee is delighted to welcome Travelling Trends Fashion Show back to the hall for the first time since lockdown.

As ever it will be an evening of great fun with Hambledon’s own models on the catwalk, the chance to buy some bargain clothes and with a bar and raffle. We have a limited number of tickets available due to the way we have to arrange the layout of the hall so don’t miss out and get yours early. £7 each, on sale at the village shop from this Tuesday onwards.

Please note that due to the lack of private changing space at the hall, this is a ladies-only event.

The additional meeting of Hambledon Parish Council, called to consider the proposal by the new owners of Feathercombe Farm to erect a stable block with additional facilities in the protected landscape of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, will take place at 8pm on Tuesday (June 27^th) at the Village Hall.

The application by the Trinity Partnership to erect a 47-metre-long building in the field between the church and Hydon’s Ball has been widely opposed by residents and many have registered their objections with Waverley Borough Council, which will determine the application.

On Tuesday evening the parish council has its first opportunity to consider its formal response to the proposal. Having already expressed its concern and made the wider-village aware of the application, it is expected to unanimously object to the scheme.

Our next film at the Village Hall is the critically acclaimed 2019 version of Dickens’ David Copperfield, directed by Armando Iannucci and starring Dev Patel, Peter Capaldi, Hugh Laurie, Tilda Swinton and Ben Whishaw. Certificate PG
