On Saturday the 12th of April the Broadwell Flower Show committee held their annual Spring Flower Show. Despite it being the start of the school Easter holidays, meaning several families had gone on holiday, there were a good number of friends and neighbours turn up to support the show with plenty of entries in most of the classes.
The spring flowers were especially good this year, with many fantastic top class entries.




There was also a collection of excellent rhubarb exhibits and a good selection of swiss rolls and lemon drizzle cakes. In the picture below we can see two of our residents deciding on which of the cakes may be the likely winners!



It was also a very poignant occasion as Pat Toole, a long time member of the Broadwell Flower Show Committee, had sadly died a few weeks before the show. Pat had always run the auction of produce at the end of each show and for the first time in many decades his familiar voice and humorous quips were no longer with us. You will always be remembered with great love and fondness Pat. In memory of Patrick James Toole, 15th December 1935 - 2nd March 2025

On the 31st of March Warwickshire Police, Rugby Rural Central Team, held an event in the Broadwell Victory Hall to offer advice and support to the local community.



A steady stream of people from in and around Broadwell attended, many of them having been victims of theft and burglary from their properties, outbuildings and farms.

On Saturday the 1st March the Flower Show committee held their ammual pancake bingo event. Many families turned up and young and old alike enjoyed a fun evening of legs-eleven and clickity-click with Martin being the caller. 13 games were played with a pause in the middle for freshly cooked pancakes. Our two pancake cooks, Rosemary and Carla, did a sterling job in the Kitchen pouring and flipping.

As always the third Wednesday of the month saw another successful 'Soup Kitchen' with 26 friends and neighbours attending. This month the volunteer soup makers provided leek and potato, vegetable, brocolli and stilton and chicken and vegetable soups. For the first time since the soup kitchen began in 2019 we actually ran out of soup! However, everyone had at least one, if not several bowls of soup.

Welcome to the new Broadwell Victory Hall website. We have had to update the site as the version of the software package that we used required an upgrade that was prohibitively expensive. Although it has taken a lot of time and effort to create the new site, it has allowed us to re-evaluate what the site is for. Originally the site was created to let people know how to book the Victory Hall. However, there is a lot of history, documents and images that tell the story about Broadwell that can be traced back to the Norman invasion in 1066. Hopefully this website will be able to provide an archive of Broadwell, its history and how we got to where we are now.
