A spokesperson for the Red Tractor Food Assurance Scheme, which
organised the vote of the British Guild of Travel Writers
members said: "The picnic spot at Rhossili Bay offers
unparalleled views - turn one way and on a clear day you can
see the north Devon coast, turn the other to look along the
three-mile yellow sweep of Rhossili sands, where the surfers
will be catching waves whatever the time of year." guardian.co.uk, 28 May 2010 |

The 'Carols round the Tree' on Friday 19th December was a jolly way to start the festive season. With some delicious mulled wine and home made mince pies the village of Rhossili showed off some of its musical skill. Carl Johnson organised a group of carol singers to entertain the people of the village, interspersed with community carol singing and some humourous and slightly poignant Christmas readings.

Carols round the Tree
Just before Christmas we had a very jolly evening with many people from Rhossili and around coming together to start the Christmas festivities singing carols around an enormous Christmas tree outside the Hall. It was an enjoyable and friendly occasion helped hugely by the skills of a new Rhossili resident, Mr Carl Johnson. Carl had 2 keyboards to accompany the gathering and also gave us a number of appropriate and amusing Christmas readings.
As the temperature dropped everyone came into the hall to have yet more mulled wine and mincepies, home made by the ladies of Rhossili. Although a completely free event we were heartened by people's generosity, raising money for the charities which the local church and chapel are supporting this year.
Whist drives
At the start of 2009 we launched a revival of Rhossili regular Whist drives. The first one in January attracted a core of regular and new players, and we hope this will grow into a sustainable event. Everyone really enjoyed the evening and there were raffle and top score prizes.
The regular night for this may change to a Wednesday, so please look for notices and fliers to that effect. Everyone is welcome.
Film nights
So far we have hosted 2 successful Film nights. The first on 12 January was "Mamma Mia" which was very well attended and ended with people dancing in the aisles to the music. This is a free entry event and takes place on the second Friday in the month. Lots of yummy refreshments are on offer through the evening. We showed "Casino Royale" on Friday 13 February which again was very enjoyable. Our next film will be the new Batman offering entitled "The Dark Knight", and will be on Friday 13 March.
COMING UP are more of these regular features plus a Quiz on 20 March, which will be £5 including supper, and a May Ball on Saturday 9 May.
If you require further information about any of the events, please ring 01792 390815.

Rhossili Village Hall creates new part-time job in local community.
Josephine Higgins started as the new part-time Hall Administrator today, Thursday 1 May 2008. Jo's remit will focus on the administration of all bookings, not just for the Bunkhouse accommodation, but also for the Community Hall and Meeting Room. From time to time, Jo will also be assisting the Trustees with the marketing of the facilities.
The Trustees are very pleased that, due to the rapid success of the Bunkhouse (completed in 2007), they have been able to create this new job in the local community. At the recent Annual Community Meeting the Trustees announced significant discounts to local people who wish to hire the Hall and Bunkhouse facilities. Local groups that use the Hall on a regular basis can also be offered financial assistance for equipment.
