The Village Hall CCTV clearly shows when and most importantly WHO stole a mole trap and vandalised the wooden flags in the Village Hall Field. Both people were recognised . To stop any further action being taken by the VH committe , would the culprits care to make amends by posting the cost of the trap (£10) through the letterbox at the Hall, no further action will then be taken.

The Village Hall is totally run by people giving their time for free, it totally relies on fundraising.
The field is open to all, but we must keep it safe and clean for all to use. Mole hills and holes dug by dogs are dangerous.
Most people using the Village hall field contribute in many ways, especially supporting fundraising activities. we can't recall seeing this particular couple doing so.
Please respect the field, your Village hall independant local businesses and most importantly your fellow villagers.

The Moles are happy, We aren't

The Village Hall Committee employ the services of a small independent company to keep your village hall field clear of mole/molehills.
Unfortunately he has reported that one of his traps has been stolen and the flags put in to mark the presence of traps have been broken up and strewn around the field.
The CCTV recordings are being checked, action will become taken.
Meanwhile, if it was you, please return the trap.
If anyone should see any anti-social, unacceptable behaviour in the field please email the Committee.
We are not asking you to get involved, but logging the date and time would really help.

Thank you

DID YOU KNOW?.....Chapel road used be called Cross Road.

The newly formed Hainford History Group met at the village hall on Monday 19th January 2026. Ten of us gathered for what proved to be a very interesting few hours. We saw documents from 1918, maps from 1797 and 1826. We also heard about progress being made in identifying people in one of the archive films. Additionally we saw photos of a teacher and cook from Hainford school many years ago. Two old books by Hainford authors were also brought to the meeting. There will certainly be several long term research projects for the future. So if you want to come along, please do. Even if you have nothing to bring, it will be an interesting listen. There will be a charge of £3.00 per meeting to cover the cost of hire of the village hall. Look
out for news on village hall noticeboards and in the HSS news from the April/May edition. We are meeting again on Monday 2nd March 2026, from 2-4pm at the Village Hall

On 29th November 2025 a friendly band of Hainford-ians turned out to the Village Hall for the 2nd showing of archive film from the 1960's & '70's. Village Hall Committee members provided film-showing equipment & refreshments.Some people were seeing the films for the first time and recognised family and friends and even the name of the dog featured on a walk!Additionally, snippets were read from a 1980’s archived radio show interviewing villagers. Memories rekindled were: The Forget-me-nots; Bingo prizes of 50p with 45 punters, bed pans and a great uncle!

*******New Group for Hainford:Following that success a new group has met to discuss Hainford history. The next meeting is on Monday 19th January 2026 at the village hall, 2-4pm, if you wish to come along just turn up.*******

A great crowd of audience singers attended the third Christmas concert of your local ukulele band - The Hugs. The village hall rang out with Christmas Number 1’s with a Sleigh Ride Medley and Snow Shanty really getting the voices going. Warmed mulled wine and mince pies helped.

We were also treated to a lovely vocal rendition of Santa Baby (along with the cheeky sexy bits) from Niamh Church. who also shared some Christmas poems throughout the evening.

With your help the grand sum of £291.16 was raised and donated to village hall funds. Keep a look out for the next Hugs concert. We are going from strength to strength as a band and really appreciate our loyal band of followers.

Many of you will know or remember that our lovely pub The Hainford Chequers was destroyed by fire in 1987 and tragically a young Firefighter Christopher Betts lost his life whilst trying to control the fire.

Christopher was the last firefighter in Norfolk to lose his life on active service, we pray this continues forever.

The Red Plaque Project alongside the Fire Service place Red Plaques at sites in memory and respect of firefighters who lost their life in the line of duty. The family of Christopher have received this honour and a Plaque will be placed at The Chequers on Monday 1st December 1pm .
It would nice to see a few villagers there to honour his memory and pay their respects. Everyone welcome

No nice way of saying this, if people continue to not clean up after their dogs then the Village Hall Committee will have no option than to ban all dogs from the field.

There are some sessions when the hall is not being used. The Committee would like suggestions of activities that could be held, or if villager would like to run an activity themselves. This could be a one off training session such as First aid for humans or even pets, or an ongoing activity such as Tai Chi or a painting group.
We welcome your suggestions
