LAST week's "Crediton Courier" (January 12), pointed out that this is Village Halls Week and Zeal Monachorum's Village Hall is joining in.

Determined to beat this month's winter blues it is holding a "Cheer Up January Party" on Saturday, January 28 at 7pm.

It is noticeable that the name itself brings a smile to people's faces and the plan is for a fun and maybe a little bit silly evening but perhaps most importantly the chance for people to come together.

The price of admittance of £1 has been kept low because the Committee want everyone to be able to afford to come, though it would be appreciated if people would bring along a plate of food to share and their own drink and glass.

As you might expect there will be a draw. Everyone is welcome and booking is not needed.

For more information call 01363 82571.

Zeal is also participating in the audit of halls being conducted by Devon Communities Together which will help in understanding what improvements might be made in future.
