Bredfield Village Hall News

Two new trees have been planted at the entrance to the Village Hall car park to replace the 2 chestnut trees, which had to be taken down as they were both unsafe.

The new trees are Sorbus Aria Lutescens, otherwise known as Whitebeam.  “A medium-size deciduous tree, erect when young, spreading with age, leaves to 10cm, broad elliptical, silvery in spring, becoming grey-green.  Creamy-white flowers followed by orange-red berries.  Ultimate height 8–12 metres, time to ultimate height 20–50 years, Ultimate spread 4–8 metres.”  This is the description from the RHS website   

We are grateful to Botanica  - https://www.botanicaplantnursery.co.uk- for the superb specimens and their efficient planting seervice

 Village Hall Starts Using Green Energy

Solar panels installed on both sides of the Village Hall roof have been generating electricity since September.  The system was designed and installed by  Ivy Solar   and uses batteries to balance out the fluctuations between the electricity generated and used; as a result all the power is used on-site, mostly in the Village Shop.

Funding for the system came from the District and County Councils, the Village Shop, Bredfield Townlands Charity and the Hall's funds.  We will be monitoring how much electricty is generated over the coming year to quantify the savings in carbon produced and expenditure by the Hall and the Shop.
