The Jigantics
Friday 30th May 6.30pm for 7pm
A fabulous fusion of Americana Blues and Cajun-kissed folk -rockery. Roots driven, high class country act.
We are excited to welcome back The Jigantics to the Village Hall on Friday 30th May. Everything was in place to welcome them to Linton last year, however, following an injury to one of the band, the gig was postponed, and another band stepped in. Happily, all is now well and they are delighted to return and we are sure it will be a memorable night of great jigging and antics.
The Jigantics are a very well-known four-piece band from the Gloucestershire/Cotswolds area. The line-up is Mark Cole, vocals, squeezeboxes, mandolin, harmonica, mandocello. Keith Thompson, guitars, harmonica, mandolin and vocals. Sarah Kelly Ukulele, flute, vocals. Martin Fitzgibbon drums, vocals, percussion, bass. The band are multi-instrumentalists who frequently swop instruments on stage throughout their set and share lead vocals, as well as four-part harmonies. Follow their adventures on Instagram.
Email LVH@lintonvillage.com for further information and to reserve your place.
Seating is reserved, so act quickly to avoid disappointment. Tickets are £12 adult, £8 under 18.
Our usual bar will be serving quality beers, wines and spirits, prosecco, as well as non-alcoholic offerings. This is a cash event, so please bring plenty of pennies with you, and car-share if you can. Why stay in when you can stay local?

VE Day Commemorations: 1940’s style Cream Tea
To mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day, and celebrate peace in Europe, the Village Hall will be holding a 1940’s style Cream Tea on the Bank Holiday, Monday 5th May from 3.00pm. £5, children free.
In the spirit of the occasion, we will be encouraging people to dress in the fashions of the time, (or come as you like) and to bring along any items of historical interest and family memorabilia for a ‘Finds’ Table, such as photographs, letters, medals, etc. If you have any photos or stories of life in this time, (villagers, evacuees, etc) please contact Roger Davies who is putting together a slide show of Linton in War and Peace. Any contributions/ideas welcome!
There will also be a ‘Digging for Britain’ Plant & Seeds Table so please bring along any gardening produce or spare seedlings to buy or swop, and a Raffle, and possibly quiz and card games. You are welcome to just come, but if you are able to let us know if you are coming that would really help with the baking, fizz and maybe cocktails! Also, if you would like to help. Many thanks!
Email LVH@lintonvillage.com If the weather is warm we may be in the garden, and if not, we’ll just keep calm and carry on inside! Many thanks.

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.
