VILLAGE HALL CHRISTMAS PARTY
The village hall committee would like to thank everyone who supported their Christmas party last Saturday with a special thank you for Father Christmas for finding the time to visit us! Over seventy villagers and guests both adult and children came along for all or part of the evening. The children enjoyed entertainment and music from Mr. Cheese, followed by a picnic Christmas tea and presents from Father Christmas. It was then the turn of the adults to play some games, before a buffet supper and nostalgic disco. The buffet table positively groaned with food thanks to everyone for being so generous and the raffle raised almost £50 towards costs.
