Barn Dance 2010
Gift Aid and Covenants
September 2011
All the basic ingredients were the same as ever – venue, band, hog
roast, salad accompaniments, desserts, liquid refreshments, raffle –
and yet the annual Barn Dance in mid-July was as good and as
vibrant as if it was the very first time. A good-natured following, who
took to the floor with enthusiasm, danced the night away, carried
along by the lively music provided by Kelly’s Eye.
Paul and Heather once more came up trumps – without their
generous input in the provision of their historic barns and Paul’s skill
as chef, this event would not be the same. Our dedicated committee
assembled and served salads and desserts, ran the bar, sold raffle
tickets, wielded a broom before and after; in fact did all those jobs
which ensure the evening runs smoothly. And run smoothly it did,
but we are well aware that without those who came in
such high spirits we would not have had such a jolly time
nor would we have raised nearly £1000. Thank you
everyone for your contribution.
The church at present needs much in the way of
cosmetic care; peeling paintwork and crumbling plaster
need attention and this sum will help to settle the bills.
An evening given over to Antiques on Saturday, October
22nd in the Village Hall will be the next event. David
Fletcher, from W.H.Peacock and Television, will give a
talk entitled ‘Behind the scenes in the saleroom’ and
then conduct a mock auction. Light-hearted and great fun , this will
give us a chance to show off our knowledge- if we have any! There
will, as usual, be a two-course supper and a licensed bar. Tickets at
£12.50 will be on sale shortly. Please ring (01234) 838467, 838714,
or contact any one on the committee.
A date for the Christmas Concert has yet to be finalised, but once it
is fixed we will let you know.
