Ugly Duckling Pop-Up Pub 22 December

by Monxton Matters

The inaugural pop-up pub night last Friday was a huge success with well over 70 people attending. Everyone agreed it was very enjoyable and very sociable, with a lovely mix of people from across both Monxton and Amport. We raised just over £200 for the village hall from the profits.

As everyone who attended said they would like the Ugly Duckling to become a regular fixture, the next pub night is planned for Friday 22 December. Since this will be the last day before the Christmas break for many people, we hope that you will come and join for a Festive drink or three.

The evening will start earlier, at 6pm, so children can also attend. Put the date (Friday 22 December)  in your diary and there will be more details to follow soon…

Village Clean Up – thank you!

by Monxton Matters

A great turn out today with at least 25 villagers spending a few hours helping to clean our lovely village. Signs are now sparkling and the greenery around them has been cut back, verges and hedges have been trimmed, litter has been collected, and the bridge by the village green is now clear of ivy. Quite a few trees have had the ivy cut back on them, and the area around the village hall has been tidied, weeded and swept.

All in all the village looks much better this evening for everyone’s hard work. So thank you to those who came to help. A well-earned bacon butty and cuppa was enjoyed afterwards in the village hall.

And thank you to all of you who keep the village looking good on a regular basis – whether it’s litter-picking whilst out walking, or keeping your properties looking great.

We plan to have an autumn clean-up as well – which will also involve planting bulbs and trees. to ensure our village looks wonderful for years to come.
