On Friday 21st April the village hall was filled the music of the Cambridge University Ceilidh Band. These very talented musicians and their superb ‘caller’ had people up and dancing all evening. It was truly amazing the way that people were able to dance dances that they had never even heard of before after just a few minutes of ‘run through’. A lovely Coronation Chicken supper followed by Chocolate Brownies further helped the proceedings. There was a licensed bar, a raffle and ‘heads and tails’ and the whole event raised in excess of £1100 for the St Swithuns restoration appeal.
The Good Old Fashioned Auction
The auction was another fantastic fundraising event, with a great deal of quality goods and some with interesting provenance; a deck chair from the Titanic, in a roundabout way… a car, a dress sword, a tuck box used by the prefect who had Jeremy Paxman as his “fag” and plenty of other weird and wonderful objects!! A
ll in all another really entertaining and successful day. Angus would like to thank all of the wonderful people who helped raise over £1000 for the church appeal.
