Halloween Disco 2023

Saturday 28th October 6pm-9pm, £3 per person from Ti.to Tickets

It’s time to get your tickets for our most popular event of the year, the Love’s Farm House Halloween Disco!

We know Love’s Farm takes Halloween VERY seriously and we can’t wait to celebrate with you. Bring your friends and family, because this year we have a brand new prize for the best group costume and we can’t wait to see what you come up with!

The building will be transformed into Love’s Farm Haunted House with the help of our disco lights and plenty of spooky decorations. We will have terrifying tunes on the dance floor, ghoulish games and creepy crafts for the kids, and of course plenty of Halloween themed cocktails and mocktails at the bar. We go pretty light touch on the scary stuff so we don’t give any little people nightmares! Fancy dress is strongly encouraged but not essential.

Tickets cost £3 per person (under 1s are free) and all children must be accompanied by a parent or carer, who must have their own ticket. Sorry, no refunds.

Get your tickets here.

And the winner of Hunts Forum’s Trustee of the Year Award is…Maria Russo of Love’s Farm House!

We knew she was amazing, and now the whole of Huntingdonshire does too! Huge congratulations to Maria Russo, Vice-Chair of the Trustees of Love’s Farm House, who won Trustee of the Year at Hunts Forum’s Volunteer Awards 2023!

Maria is involved in almost every area of Love’s Farm House. She leads the Events Team, organising all the discos, shows and other events our community loves so much. She runs the Lazy Breakfast Cafe and can usually be found here on a Saturday morning serving up pastries and sausage rolls. Maria also leads the Garden Team, keeping our lovely outside space looking great, and she gets involved in all sorts of other issues from recruiting volunteers, to supporting staff, to trying to work out how to minimise our utility bills!

Love’s Farm House quite literally could not function without Maria, and as a Trustee she does all of this work on a completely voluntary basis. We are so pleased that her contribution has been recognised with this very well-deserved award! Congratulations Maria!

The Hall Gets a Refresh thanks to Tesco & GENCO Construction Services

We’d like to say a huge thank you to Tesco and GENCO Construction Services for repainting the Love’s Farm House hall!

When Tesco planned their refurbishment of the Tesco Express store on Love’s Farm, they reached out to us to find out whether Love’s Farm House could benefit from any redecorating at the same time. We were more than happy to say yes!

The paint in the hall was looking very scuffed and faded. Most of the hall hadn’t been repainted since the building opened in 2015 because the walls were too high to access, even with a ladder.

Tesco and GENCO Construction kindly provided a team of workers, as well as a scissor lift, to repaint the hall from top to bottom. They went above and beyond the call of duty by fitting the work into the gaps in our schedule so that none of our activities were disrupted.

The work was finished just in time for everyone to enjoy at the Valentine’s Disco!

Jenny Bishop, General Manager of Love’s Farm House, said “we are incredibly grateful to Tesco and GENCO for supporting us with this project and helping to maintain this great space for everyone in our community to use.”

Have a look at our What’s On Guide or Events page to find out when you can come along and make the most of our refreshed hall.

The Trustees propose an alteration to the Charity’s Constitution at Section 7 to read:

A charity trustee must:

1) Declare the nature and extent of any interest, direct or indirect, which he or she has in a proposed transaction or arrangement with the CIO or in any transaction or arrangement entered into by the CIO which has not previously been declared; and

2) At the discretion of the non-conflicted Trustees, by majority vote, may be required to absent himself or herself from any discussions of the charity trustees in which it is possible that a conflict of interest will arise between his or her duty to act solely in the interests of the CIO and any personal interest (including but not limited to any financial interest).

Any charity trustee with a conflict of interest, whether or not he or she has been required to absent himself or herself from any discussions in accordance with this clause, must not vote or be counted as part of the quorum in any decision of the charity trustees on the matter.

The proposed amendments are underlined in the text above. A copy of the current Constitution of Love’s Farm Community Centre CIO, where the current text of the above clause can be seen, can be found here.

The proposal should be considered by the Members at the Annual General Meeting.

We look forward to seeing you at the AGM.

The Archaeology of Love’s Farm

Friday 14 June, 7.30pm

Ever wondered who lived in Love’s Farm before it became Love’s Farm? Before the construction of the development a team of archaeologists took part in the biggest archaeological operation ever to be undertaken in St Neots and one of the biggest in the country, right here on Love’s Farm. They unearthed Roman pottery, jewellery and even a headless horse! The Final Report on the excavation has now been published and the man in charge, Mark Hinman, will be joining St Neots Local History Society for a talk about the Archaeology of Love’s Farm.

The talk will take place in the hall at Love’s Farm House on Friday 14 June from 7.30pm. The bar will be open for refreshments, so come along and find out about the history of our Love’s Farm!

Tickets cost £5 and can be purchased from St Neots Museum, at St Neots Local History Society Meetings, or (subject to availability) on the door.
