The Family Fireworks Fund
This group is a sub-committee of the main Hall Management Committee and was originally formed to organise events during the Millennium celebrations which began with a midnight fireworks display on 31st December 1999. Afterwards the group were asked to take over the organisation of the annual Bonfire Night fireworks display and to continue the popular open air Songs of Praise on the green on the last Sunday in August. The New Year fireworks proved to be so popular that these were also continued but transferred to the evening of New Years Day. Donations, collections and sponsorship support the cost of the firework displays which bring many visitors into the village and funds raised after expenses are put back into good causes in the community.

Songs of Praise
Since the Millennium celebrations the Fireworks Committee have continued to organise an annual non-denominational Songs of Praise on the village green at 3pm on the Sunday before August Bank Holiday Monday. Music is by Reeth Brass Band and the hymns are introduced by representatives from three local churches. If the weather is bad the event is moved into the Memorial Hall.
