Bighton Parish Council
Next meeting 21st March, Village Hall.
INTER-VILLAGE QUIZ
After a boisterous evening at the Christy Hall
on 17th November, Old Alresford retained
the Village Voice Cup. The individual table
winners were Old Alresford’s Sinister and
Dexter, and the wooden spoons went to
Know Hopers, also from Old Alresford.
Bighton and Gundleton teams sat
comfortably in the middle of the leader
board.
On Saturday, 19th January, there was a
Village Pub Night with a live band.
On Saturday, 2nd February from 2.30pm to
5pm there will be a celebration of 100 years
of community use.
Flooding
The Environment Agency recently issued a
flood warning for Old Alresford, suggesting
that the rise in groundwater levels might lead
to cellar flooding. The Parish Council is
monitoring the situation (which seems to
have improved due to some drier weather)
and will pass on any further notices from the
Environment Agency to parishioners on the
email address list.
As always, it was a great night. Thanks to
Old Alresford, and in particular Quizmaster
Dave Exelby, for hosting the event. See you
all same time next year, at Bighton Village
Hall.
Next Parish Council meeting: Thursday, 7th
March.
