Murder Mystery Evening: As part of a fund-raising initiative for Belle, a beautiful twelve-year old local girl who was diagnosed with a life-threatening inoperable cancerous brain tumour, a Murder Mystery evening is being presented by the Catsfield Amateur Dramatic Society (CADS) on 9th February in the Village Hall. The good news is that this event has already sold out and everyone who was quick enough to secure their tickets in time is set to have a great evening and raise lots of money for Belle.

Sport: Football was a huge disappointment last Saturday. After our win over top of the table the previous week, the groundsman anticipated a better performance than the 1- 5 loss against Rock a Nore away in the cup. We were only able to field a depleted side owing to flu, work patterns and general unavailability, however, with some sin-bin penalties awarded to the opposition, we still lost. Another cup match looms tomorrow away at Eastbourne against Victoria Baptists. Will the groundsman go and brave the cold? Of course, he will. In the meantime, he regaled his wife with tales of his own goalkeeping experiences, the pinnacle of which seemed to be when Bob Philcox sent him a back pass of such ferocity it hit him in the stomach and nearly knocked him over. Of course, if he received a back pass in the stomach nowadays, an entirely different effect would result.
