• Barn Dance and Chilli Night 

• Harvest Festival disco

•

Ladies Shopping night • The Usborne sponsored read and events

• Christmas bazaar 

• Grounds working party 

• Secret Christmas shop

• Refreshments and raffle at the Christmas performances

My HUGE thanks once again to all who organised, attended and took part inany or indeed all of the events.

You can see the direct fruits of your efforts in the:

• fantastic new indoor gym equipment

• professional staging and lighting
