'Murder' at the Village Hall

Our newly re-opened Village Hall was the scene of some gruesome goings on recently with the newly installed lift witnessing its first 'murder.'

Now before we all stop sleeping safe in our beds, don't panic, as it was a Murder Mystery Night put on by Murderology who run professional evenings such as this, in association with the Ebor Players.

The scene was set as a gala evening when events are disturbed by the announcement of the murder of the best friend of showbiz impresario Davis Ernestine Hartley (who will be known to Panto regulars as the Dame, David Rose) any of the 6 characters could be guilty and all have a story to tell.

Matters take a turn for the worse when Davis himself is found dead in the lift skewered by a pair of scissors (don't remember seeing that in the lottery application)

In the end after much activity back and forth and with a brief interlude for a fish & chip supper 'it was the wife that did it,' blinded by ambition.

Overall another great illustration of the varied uses that the village hall is currently being put to; helping to raise funds for local groups like the Ebor Players and providing custom for local businesses like The Chip Inn who supplied the supper.

A big vote of thanks should go to all at Murderology for putting on a great show and to all who helped selling tickets, serving drinks and clearing up, all adding up to a very successful evening.
