‘Matt and Tom’s fundraiser for Cancer Research UK’
Matt Arnold and his friend Tom have just completed the 3 Peaks Challenge, in order to raise funds for Cancer Research UK, as a way of celebrating his 21st birthday. This has entailed climbing Ben Nevis in Scotland, Scafell Pike in England and Snowdon in Wales, all 3 within a 24-hour period.
It would be lovely if you feel you can donate something towards this very worthwhile cause.
Just type the title ‘Matt and Tom’s fundraiser for Cancer Research UK’ into the Just Giving search bar to find this picture and his name.
Many thanks. Rachel Arnold

Open Meeting for the 2024 Coldridge Fete & Vintage Rally
I am pleased to announce that the 2024 Coldridge Fete Committee will be hosting an Open Meeting for residents of the Parish on Wednesday 15th May, 7.30pm in the Village Hall to update you on progress for our 2024 fete preparations and announce some of the exciting attractions lined up for 29th June 2024 – that’s a mere 45 days time from this meeting!!
It’s an ideal opportunity (especially if you are new to the area) to meet the team and get a latest heads-up on what’s planned & what to expect on the day. It’s also a chance for you to share your thoughts and ideas, and (if not already) explore if and how you might be able to play a part either before and on the day.
I look forward to meeting you all on the 15th May.

Update ££: Charity Music Night, 20th January 2024
The bean-counters have now completed their work – it’s taken a little while, but worth the wait I feel!
I’m pleased to announce that as a result of the Charity Music Night fundraiser held in Coldridge Village Hall back in January 2024, a total of £1328.77 was raised for the Devon Air Ambulance Trust.
Thanks to everyone who came along, and to those who gave their time to help make this event happen both before and in the hall on the night. A special mention here goes to Arwen and the headline music act of Tim and Stewart, aka ‘Hooked’,for an enjoyable evening’s entertainment.
All in all, just another reason for us all to be proud of our special small corner of mid-Devon 
.

The Coldridge Memorial Clock
A message from our Parish Clerk
"Coldridge Parish Council wishes to thank all of those who contributed to the Crowdfunding appeal, the ladies who organise the Coldridge Cafe and two anonymous donors for their generous support. Thanks also to those in the community who gave their time to ensure the clock is now back and working again. It really is the beating heart of the village, and those living near it have missed its reassuring chimes. It can also be seen, and sometimes heard, from many parts of the parish, especially whilst it is lit up over Christmas and New Year".

Keep in Touch With Coldridge, Devon
It can sometimes be difficult to see/find out what's going on in a 'sleepy' little Parish like Coldridge, so as a remedy I've prepared a one page 'Keep-In-Touch' guide with details of the locations of our key Parish information and publicity/social media channels.

Welcome to the new Coldridge Village Hall website!
On behalf of the Coldridge Village Hall Committee I am pleased to announce the launch of our new Village Hall Website – www.coldridgevillagehall.org.uk .
This website is intended provide a ‘shop window’ for all things relating to Coldridge Village Hall, with information about the hall, the groups who use it, its facilities, Village Hall events and the services available to Coldridge residents.
The Coldridge Village Hall website is intended to run alongside the monthly Coldridge Calendar, our “What’s on in Coldridge Devon” Facebook community page and here on the Coldridge Parish Website.
The website is newly constructed and as such, like housetraining a new puppy, there may be a few initial upsets or desirable improvements that could be made. So, if you have a moment in the coming days please grab a ‘hot beverage’, click-on the new Village Hall website link and have a look around the site. If there’s something you’re not sure about, or if you would like to share any observations or suggestions for improvements, please drop me a line at cvhwadmin@coldridgevillagehall.org.uk.
My thanks to the Village Hall Committee Officers, our Village Hall User Group representatives and other content providers for their support and assistance in getting us here today.
