One of Rempstone’s regular series of coffee mornings takes place in the Village Hall on Thursday this week, April 20 from 10.30 am until 12 noon -- with a slight difference.

Organisers say that on the usual jigsaw tables they are now going to have some DVDs that can either be bought for £1, or, if you bring in another DVD, can be bought for 50p. in other words, the system will work just as it does for jigsaws.

“We would be grateful for donations of DVDs that you and your family have finished with,” say the organisers, adding they can be taken to this weeks coffee morning on Thursday

There will also be a number of Blu-ray DVDs that can be hired for 50p but must be returned by the following Coffee Morning.
