    Get in to the Christmas spirit with carols on Saturday 9th December at The Farmer. The band will strike up from 6pm and there will be mulled wine and mince pies available.

    Last year’s singing ranged from “angelic” to the “enthusiastic” but certainly raised the roof so bring family and friends along and join in with all your favourites.

  • Monthly get together at The Farmer

    The Farmer Inn

    On the first Wednesday of the month from 8 pm members of CVRA have an informal get together at The Farmer . It’s a great way to catch up with neighbours and meet other village residents, both new and longstanding.

    It is not a “meeting” and there is no agenda. This is simply designed to be an opportunity for us all to meet up with, and enjoy the company of fellow CVRA members.

    Likewise, if you are not yet a member or are new to the village, do come along and say hello.

     

  • Sunday 25th June – Catherington Big Lunch

    Big Lunch 17 flyerTickets are on sale for the Catherington Big Lunch this year which will take place on Sunday 25th June

    There will be a Hog Roast included in the ticket price and live music to get everyone into the swing. Other activities will include Steam Train Rides, Pillow Jousting, Treasure Hunt and Games, as well as the annual Catherington Tug of War.

    Everything kicks off at midday in the field next to The Farmer Inn (The Donkey Field). Everyone is encouraged to bring a “pudding to share” so roll up those sleeves and get baking.

    Tickets are £7 for adults (reduced to £5 for paid up CVRA members) and £3 for children. Drinks may be purchased from the Farmer Inn.

    Tickets can be purchased from members of the committee, by contacting us through the website or emailing CVRATickets@EliteMail.Org

    Don’t delay as numbers are limited and the event was sold out well in advance last year.

  • “Blondie” Haslar Blue Plaque – 17th October 2016

    “Blondie” Haslar Blue Plaque

     
    Monday 17th October 2016 sees the unveiling of the blue plaque to commemorate Lt. Col. H.G. “Blondie” Haslar DSO OBE CdeG RM, who lived in Catherington. 
     
    The plaque has been funded by a grant from EHDC arranged by Sara Schillemore and donations from members of CVRA, which are most gratefully received.
     
     
    It will be unveiled at 15 Glamorgan Road at 11:30 on Monday 17th October 2016 by Baron Ashdown of Norton-sub-Hamdon, more usually known as Lord Paddy Ashdown, a former Commando in the SBS.  The event will also be attended by the Deputy Commandant of the Royal Marines, Brigadier Richard Spencer  OBE ADC, and other serving & past members of the Royal Marines.
     
    Access to, and parking on Glamorgan Road will be difficult, and we hope that
    local residents will walk, or park their cars otherwise than in Glamorgan Road. Parking is available at All Saint’s Church, the Catherington Downs car park (opposite Catherington Church of England Infant School) or at the Farmer Inn – all on Catherington Lane.

  • “Blondie” Haslar talk – 9th October 2016

    On the evening of Sunday last 9th October 2016, at the Church Hall, Bill Evershed gave an excellent talk on Lt. Col. H.G. “Blondie” Haslar DSO OBE CdeG RM, who lived in Catherington.

     It was a great compliment to Bill that the event sold out within a day or two of being published in the last Catherington Village Newsletter.  Very many thanks to Bill, his family and the other helpers on the night; particularly East Hampshire District Councillor Sara Schillemore, who was the organiser of the event.
