The Almshouse Allstars step in for The Jigantics on Friday 26th April 7pm
Sadly, due to an accident to one of the band, The Jigantics can no longer perform for us on Friday 26th April. We wish the band member a speedy recovery, and hope to see The Jigantics back on top form with us, hopefully in the autumn.
We didn’t want to let our loyal audience down, so have found a replacement for you who have very kindly offered to play for us at such short notice. We are really pleased to welcome The Almshouse Allstars, and hope that you will welcome and enjoy this band just as much! https://www.wysonlanemusic.com/almshouseallstars
The Almshouse Allstars present their swing show, with classic interpretations of the ‘swing ‘ songs and tunes of the jazz age. This includes songs by Billie Holiday, Al Bowly, and Louis Armstrong, such as Night & Day, and It Had to be You.
(On their website they feature two lead vocalists, guitar, banjo, ukelele and harmonica, saxophone, clarinet and flute and double bass.)
All arrangements remain the same, tickets are still available, and are £10 for adults, £6 for under 18’s, and are available via email LVH@lintonvillage.com. We look forward to seeing you!
We have emailed everyone who booked tickets to ask if they’d like to keep them for this band. If we haven’t heard from you, we will release the tickets for others.

Thursday Lunch Club is now closed for the Summer
Our ‘Thursday Lunch Club’ serves a decent two course meal in the village hall on the third Thursday of each month through to March 2024. If you regularly come along then please look out for an email. If you do not usually attend but would like to join in then please let Carol know (07811 012593 on carol849 @btinternet.com) so we can add you to the mailing list and keep you advised. New name, same team- and we are looking forward to seeing you all!
Since 2018 the ‘Community Lunches’ (now The Thursday Lunch Club) has been run as a joint effort between the three village charities – Linton Village Hall, Village of Linton Trust (VoLT) and St.Mary’s Church – with the proceeds being shared equally between these three charities.
Linton Village Hall has signed the Greener Footprints Pledge
Greener Footprints is a county wide initiative set up to help achieve the vision of a zero carbon nature rich Herefordshire. “Join Greener Footprints and make a pledge to beat climate change so we, along with future generations, can all continue to enjoy the wonderful natural environment and wildlife that we’re so lucky to have all around us in Herefordshire. In three simple steps people and organisations can make a real difference by taking independent and joint actions that will collectively make a big dent in the effects of climate change on our county, and our lives…” To find out more about this county wide campaign, go to the link below to find out all about this initiative and join in. https://zerocarbon.herefordshire.gov.uk/greener-footprints-pledge/
Linton Village Hall Climate and Nature Grant Update – June 2022
You may recall the hall committee received a grant from Herefordshire Council at the end of 2021 to carry out energy saving improvements to the hall. These included supplementing the existing loft insulation, replacing all the existing fluorescent lighting with LED units and installing photovoltaic solar panels with battery storage. Well, this project is now complete!
The additional loft insulation was put in in March 2022 with the main hall and committee rooms loft areas being supplemented with 100mm of extra insulation to prevent heat loss through the roofs.
The Led Lighting was installed in the beginning of May 2022 with all the ceiling lights in the main hall and ancillary rooms, as well as external floodlighting, being replaced with LED units to reduce electricity usage.
The installation of PV Solar Panels was carried out mid-May and comprised the erection of 14 solar panels on the rear roof slopes of the hall plus a 6.6.kw storage battery and inverter. These will again serve to reduce electricity usage overall at the hall.
The work to the hall has been carried out to budget and within the time frames set by the council grant. All these improvements will help to reduce the hall’s carbon footprint and ultimately work towards combating climate change.
