DVC Does It Again

Posted 24th February 2026

This year’s DVC production was Aladdin, performed on the 19th, 20th and 21st February to packed houses in the Village Hall.

Brilliantly adapted from the original Panto story by Chris and Caroline Hutton, with the former directing as well, the show was much enjoyed by all, the cast and back-stage crew as well as the audience.

Special recognition must go to the many people who contributed behind the scenes and made such a difference; the Art Group members who painted the scenery, the team that ran the lighting and special effects. The musicians, led as usual by Sue Altarelli, did a great job.

At the last moment, one of the players with a leading part, Caroline Guthrie – Jasmine, was unfortunately taken ill, but Beth Barrett stepped in brilliantly. Of course, playing opposite her husband must have helped.

The Programme, with details of everybody involved, and a Review by “OldStager” can be seen on the Website.

Visitors Win Again

Posted 9th February 2026

A very good time was had by all who attended Saturday’s Annual Village Quiz at the Village Hall.

As usual, Denise and Peter Grant did a great job, asking the questions, distributing spot prizes and keeping us all in order.

Perhaps the only disappointing aspect of the event was the fact that the winning team came from outside the village yet again. Calling themselves the “Border Terriers”, it seems they tour the Waveney Valley taking part in villages quizzes, and winning many of them.

Ten teams took part. In second place was "We're Behind You" and the Wooden Spoon went to "No. 5".
