FATHER CHRISTMAS AND CAROLS 21ST DECEMBER
Despite the entire Village being plunged into darkness Father Christmas turned up on time on his sleigh and handed out over 100 presents to children, followed by a hearty rendition of several carols!
Congratulations and thanks to all involved in organising and taking part in this event especially the musicians, Santa, Santa’s sleigh (decorators, drivers and horsemen) and the Trusty Servant front of house and kitchen team who coped so well during the extended power cut!
A total of £69.71 was collected in aid of the Children’s Society.
