Peasmarsh village voice

There was a constant stream of visitors to the Archive Exhibition at the Memorial hall last Sunday, as always lots to see and discover about the history of our village. Many interesting conversations were sparked by looking at the old photographs and memorabilia, with people remembering things that they didn’t know they knew! Thank you to everyone who came along, and of course to those whose hard work made it possible.

There is a new and exciting after school dance club starting at the Memorial Hall on Thursday 3rd May called Movers & Groovers . Michelle Paine, who is a qualified dance teacher with over 20 years experience of teaching dance to children, is running the club which will be held between 4-5pm for all children in yrs 2-6 (age 6-11). Movers & Groovers is a fun and friendly class suitable for all, regardless of whether they have danced before or not. It’s an active class where members will learn funky routines to all their favourite tunes. The cost is £2.50 per child. For more information or to sign up for the club please contact Michelle on [email protected].

Tickets are still available for the concert and candlelit dinner in the Church on Bank Holiday Monday, May 7th. The Celan Quartet are a very talented group of 17-year-olds all studying at music colleges in London and their programme will appeal to all classical music lovers. Contact Robin Thompson 01797 230356 for tickets, or if you want more information there are brochures at the Church or at the Tourist office in Rye or from Jennifer Als 01797 230324.
