Waterlooville Events Team

Make a note in your diaries of the films coming up this Spring.  Showings on your doorstep in St Georges Hall, Waterlooville.  Free parking in the HBC car park by Wellington Way.

Christmas is over and life can be quiet in January so why not have an evening out at the cinema in Waterlooville.  Thursday 25 January is the next screening.  Victoria and Adul.  It is a brilliant film with an amazing portrayal of Victoria by Judy Dench. Come along, have a coffee and some cake and settle down to enjoy the film. Put the date in your diary now!

Another fabulous film at the Waterlooville monthly cinema.  See you there??

Who are the 'low life' who hate Waterlooville so much that they don't want festive lighting in the precinct? The volunteers from the Events team have spent a lot of money and time to try and make Waterlooville look festive but having seen what some 'people' think about it makes you wonder why we bother. Today we went to change the batteries in the tree lights as some were not working. The reason was that the battery casings had been torn/cut off so the lights no longer worked. Councillor Mike Sceal went into the tree by Nat West to locate a connection further up and managed to connect another casing in the tree, but the lights in the tree by Lloyds bank could not be fixed. If you see something untoward or if you see the lights not working let us know. We had hoped to put battery lights in all the trees in Waterlooville precinct next year but if they are to be vandalised is it worth it??

Christmas is really coming and excitement is mounting!  The Events Team have again built a grotto in the library.  Bring the children and experience the winter wonderland and visit Father Xmas in his house.  £2 a child and they receive a wrapped gift and chocolate.  BIG BIG thank you to volunteers, library staff and men's shed for building this magical kingdom!

TIME TO MAKE YOUR VIEWS KNOWN!   For a few years there has been talk of redeveloping Wellington Way.  There is going to be a consultation in Waterlooville library on some of the proposals.  So if you do not want a 9 storey block (height of church!) to be built consisting of studio flats with little parking then this is the time to make your views known!  The following was posted on facebook by Havant Borough Council, so just in case you missed it here it is again. In May of this year a Development Consultation Forum was held at the council in relation to the partial re-development of Wellington Way Shopping Centre We have been informed that the development team are now carrying out their own additional Public Consultation at the Waterlooville Library from Wednesday 29 November to 3 December inclusive. It is understood that members of the applicant’s development team will be available to discuss the proposals on the afternoons of 29-30 Novembe...

What a fantastic effort from the staff at J Edwards and Co-operative Funeral care, who raffled 2 luxury hampers, a bottle hamper and a sweet hamper, as well as selling mulled wine and mince pies to all  at the Xmas event.. They managed to raise an enormous £197 which goes back into the Events Team, allowing us to put on more FREE events for the local community. Well done everyone! Were you the lucky winner???
