Burns NightResults

As our guests arrived, they were greeted to the sound of Andrew's bagpipes which quickly got everyone into the right mood. Liz and Brian Norton the chefs for the night once again produced a wonderful meal and we thank them for their hard work. The food was expertly served by our four young and energetic waitresses. Thank you to  those people who agreed to speak or make toasts on the evening. Thanks to peoples generosity,  the event raised £559 towards funds.More pictures in the Gallery.

Kathy had once again assembled an excellent standard and variety of stalls for this event. One stall holder even travelled up from the Southend area! Thank you to the Trustees and the band of helpers who worked so hard throughout the day manning the stall, tombola, raffle, refreshments and the door. Thank you to those who supplied items for the various stalls. There was a lovely atmosphere in the hall and many nice comments about the event. The profit of £1883 will go towards our window project, updated details of which can be found under the projects heading. Photos of the event are in the Gallery.
