Do you have books on your shelf that you have read and will never read again?
Would you like to swap them?
If you have books in good condition that you would like to donate to our Book Swap come to the library for a cup of coffee, bring your old books and see if you can pick up a book you haven’t read!

We have had a bit of a gap with our Quiz Evenings at the Cedar Tree, but we are on the ball again!

so  – Tuesday 14th March – 7.30 prompt start at The Cedar Tree! This month we will be raising funds through our raffle for the Surrey Heath Mayor’s Charities. Our Mayor, Cllr.  John Winterton, is supporting two local charities, Connect Counselling Services and Disability Initiative. Raffle prizes would be very welcome.

It is a fun evening, quite light-hearted with prizes for the winners …… and losers!

£10 per head, which includes a pie and mash supper.

Teams of up to 4 welcome

Please send a message to events@bagshotvillage.com if you would like to book in a team or text 07890 864 074 or call in at the Cedar Tree.

Kind regards Tina and Valerie @ Bagshot Community Events

A message from Maggie Martin – Home Instead

I’m creating a Dementia Action Alliance in the Bagshot, Windlesham and Lightwater area, so I’m looking for people who would be interested in being involved.

First Meeting next week 28th February 2pm at The Three Mariners

The first steps are to create a steering group & then start to identify steps we could take to make the three villages more dementia friendly. This is likely to include things like:

–          Information on local dementia services

–          Improved signs

–          Dementia Friendly services at the churches

–          Hairdresser / GP / Dentist appointments at quiet times

–          … anything else we can think of

I’m also planning to run Dementia Friends sessions in the area to help raise awareness in the local community. The sessions were developed by the Alzheimer’s Society & take about 45 minutes to run (they’re free).

Would you be interested or can you think of anyone else who would be interested either in joining the steering group or in hosting a Dementia Friends session ? The steering group isn’t going to be a huge commitment – probably just an hour or so a month.

Come to our Brush Party at The Cedar Tree, Bagshot on 2nd March and experience a great night out! It’s all about fun… get yourself a drink from the bar, settle down to your canvas and unleash your inner Van Gogh!

Our artist will walk you through creating your masterpiece. You’ll be delighted as your blank canvas transforms in only two hours, made all the better by a glass of wine or two!

You don’t need to bring anything apart from yourself… We provide everything… a 16” x 20” quality canvas, all the paint you need, brushes, aprons, music and the environment for you to have a great night out.

We are not sticklers, we are all for you mixing it up a bit… If you feel confident, you can interpret our instruction any way you wish… maybe you’d like to change the colours to suit your décor? We love it when you go ‘rogue’ – we might even learn a thing or two!

Please do note that your ticket price does not include food or drinks. Drinks can be purchased from the bar and food is also available up to 9pm.

The event starts at 7.00pm but please arrive at least 15 minutes early to get your seat and any drinks you may want etc. Our evenings usually last about 2 hours but times may vary.

Although we provide aprons, it might be worth wearing old clothes (just in case).

We look forward to seeing you for a great night out.

Please note: A Brush Party is not a traditional painting class. Music is played throughout the event.
