Village Hall Banquet 2019 ...

On 13th April 2019, a Gala Banquet was held to celebrate the completion phase of refurbishments to our Village Hall. This was very well attended and guests not only enjoyed splendid food but were able to toast all our past successes and our many future glories!
The banquet raised just over £2100!! and this will be used to help pay off outstanding bills from the refurbishment.

All the tables ready for the sixty six guests and a few final preparations in the kitchen:
