Murder Mystery at the Village Hall
A Special Event is taking place at the Village Hall on Saturday 1st June, starting at 7pm. There's going to be a murder!! Probably most dastardly! The event is being held to raise much needed funds for the village hall. Tickets are on sale now at Londis. £10 per ticket buys you a place on the detective's table, a pasty and a pudding....some food for thought!
Please go to the WHAT'S ON page (click to your left) to find further details. Please also note that this is likely to be a popular event and tickets are limited.

Cubert Social Club calls for Volunteers
Tony, Colin and the rest of the team on the Cubert Social Club Sub-Committee are calling for volunteers to help run the bar. There’s going to be a monthly rota and volunteers can choose to work one or more sessions per month. If you have no experience working behind the bar, don’t worry, training will be available. Small social clubs really do rely on volunteers and so if you can spare one or two evenings a month please contact Tony on cubertsocialclub@hotmail.com I know he will be very pleased to hear from you. If you would like to know more you can also chat to him and the team at one of the membership sign-up evenings at the village hall. Scroll down for details.

Cubert Social Club Membership
Hot off the press. 10th April 2024
The Cubert Social Club is signing up members this month. The fee for the remainder of 2024 is £10. The membership fees will be reviewed each year thereafter. This doesn’t mean the fee will be increased but, of course, this cannot be guaranteed. In order to beat any future increases and to raise the necessary start-up funds, the Social Club is offering multiple year memberships up to 5 years. Seems like a very good deal!
To get things going, Tony Savage has arranged two sign-up sessions at the village hall. These are:
Monday April 22nd from 7pm to 8pm and
Monday April 29th from 7pm to 8pm
Editor's Note:
Previous polls and meetings have confirmed there is a great deal of support for a social club in the parish, so let’s confirm our enthusiasm for this venture by turning out in large numbers.

The Cubert Social Club’s Next Step
The application for a Club Licence has now been formally submitted by the Cubert Social Club (CSC) and very shortly you will see formal consultation notices being posted up at the village hall and on its noticeboard near the post office. This will give everyone an opportunity to have their say about the granting of the licence. Meanwhile, Tony, Colin and the rest of the team are working hard to source equipment, materials, skilled labour and help in order to be at the ready should their application be successful. On the granting of the licence the CSC will be inviting local people to join the club which, along with funding assistance from the village hall, should raise sufficient funds to see the project through to its completion. Exciting Times!

Social Club has Launched
Facebook Page
On 7th March the Social Club launched its Facebook Page called 'Cubert Social Club'. Do please go to the page and show your support by joining, liking, commenting, sharing etc. At the time of writing there are 35 members since it went live last night, so a pretty good reaction.

Social Club Progress
Members of the Village Hall Committee and the Social Club Committee met together at the Village Hall on Wednesday 6th March to talk about the proposed kitchen and committee room alterations needed in order to create a social club at the hall. It was a positive meeting and it was agreed for the social club to take the next step and make an application for a club premises certificate. After the application is submitted, Cornwall Council's Licencing Department will require us to put up notices at the hall inviting comments. The Parish Council and other statutory bodies will be consulted and all of this will take a minimum of 28 days, so probably longer. Watch this space for further updates

Social Club Proposal Meeting Takes Place
A meeting of the newly formed Social Club Sub-Committee took place on 15th February at the Village Hall. About 45 parishioners attended, including members of the Village Hall Committee and the Parish Council. A show of hands of support was requested and all, but the two formal bodies, voted in favour of the Social Club's proposals. The two formal bodies did not cast a vote, because the Village Hall Committee has to further consider the proposal before giving permission to carry out any works and the Parish Council, being a statutory consultee, will consider the matter separately should a Club Premises Licence be applied for.
A further meeting is taking place between the Social Club and the Village Hall Committee very soon and progress will be reported here.

Social Club Proposal Meeting
Thursday 15th February at 7:30pm at the
Village Hall
Tony Savage and Colin Mortlock have been putting together some proposals to form a start-up social club at the Village Hall. They will be using this meeting to inform local parishioners about their ideas and to gain support. Do pop along to hear what they've got to say, ask questions and offer support. Members of the Village Hall Committee will also be in attendance. The Village Hall Committee has been in consultation with Tony and Colin prior to the calling of this meeting, but, as yet, no decisions to go ahead or begin any work have been made. However, Tony and Colin have begun to form a Social Club Committee and have called this public meeting, which were prerequisites of the Village Hall Committee. See also the 'Cubert Parish Social Club' page
