MARA

Friday 28th February, 7pm with support from Arts Alive
1868. Discharged from the army, Morten scrapes a living on the edge of the Swedish forest. Suddenly he begins to suffer nightmares and mysterious visits as he sleeps. He’s told he is plagued by a Mara – a folkloric figure who visits another at night. To free himself, he must discover the Mara’s identity. But who is it?
Entertaining, immersive and moving, this solo storytelling performance is a whodunnit, a dive into the dreamscape of Swedish folklore, a love story, a journey through Europe’s ancient forests, a playful look at our relationship with sleep and a rummage into what it means to be awake.

Our ‘Thursday Lunch Club’ serves a decent two course meal in the village hall on the third Thursday of each month through to March 2025. 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.
