Christmas Craft Market Nov 2015

Once again, Kathy Wilkinson had gathered a wide range of good quality crafts and food stalls for this event. The event was well supported with over 263 adults, plus many children attending. Father Christmas was very busy telling stories and giving out presents. The kitchen staff were kept on their toes serving a range of refreshments, whilst the tombola, raffles and cake stalls were well supported. Thank you to everyone who supported this event. The event, together with some generous donations raised a magnificent £1,979 which gives the final amount towards the window repair project.

Quiz Night

Our quiz proved very popular, with 14 teams being formed from people travelling from Southend, Ipswich, Harwich , Lawford as well as locals from Mistley, Manningtree and Bradfield. The winning team came from Harwich. All teams did well with no one below 50 percent. Thanks to Christine, Barbara and Sheila for producing the excellent ploughman's supper. The event raised £585 towards the stained glass window repairs. Thank you to those who supported the event.

Let there be cheese and wine result

A big thank you to Kathryn Glover, Anja Newman, Nic Ward and Angela Garner (Including their other halves plus the baby sitters!) for organising a wonderful evening of cheese and wine. The guests enjoyed sampling the six wines and trying to guess their origins. The wonderful spread of cheese was also enthusiastically demolished. The ladies had also assembled a raffle and wish to thank the Village Maid for their donation of a meal for two. The event, together with a donation from our American member who came to visit earlier this year, raised a magnificent £491 which will go towards the window project.  Well done girls!
