The Music Quiz came and went...the small number of attendees appeared to enjoy themselves despite no classical questions! A profit for the Village Hall was realised but more importantly parts of the community came together. I'm blaming Strictly for low numbers! October 19thsees a fully booked Harvest Horkey in the Village Hall. A great deal of work has gone into this event which has always been a village highlight. Our sincere thanks to Sam Mulgrew for the passion and drive to get this organised this year.
On Saturday 26thOctober is the Halloween Party for children. 4-6pm £4 per child which includes buffet tea, games, disco loads of sweets. Also pumpkin carved competition and fancy dress competition. Please book your ticket before the 19th of October-the children bring their finished carved pumpkin along to the Hall for judging. The November Fair, run in conjunction with Margaret Horne, on Saturday 16thNovemberfrom 12 noon to 4pm. A wide range of gifts and items for sale with refreshments and light lunches throughout. On Saturday 7thDecember is the Annual Quiz run by Nigel-contact him to enter a team, or individually. Prizes, food and probably a few contentious moments! Come along and join the fun. bar open too!
Saturday 14thDecember is the Children's Christmas Party which will cost £5 and must be booked in advance. Return form in November Newsletter. And to round off the year on December 28th is the Plum Pudding Walk.
The Committee are currently thinking about next year's cycle of activities and events. We have put together a long list of things we have done before but wondered if there are any new ideas in the village? Please pop a note into the Village Hall letter box or contact a committee member (numbers in Village Hall). There are some maintenance jobs to be done so if anybody has a spare hour or two please contact Nigel to volunteer your services. Thank you
