A hectic summer of village activities kicks off in style this year with the May Ball on Saturday 12 May, this will be followed by Open Day at the bowling green on Sunday 20 May, the Horse Show in June, and Jazz in the Park on Saturday 30 June. Then prepare for the flowers, crafts and produce at the Horticultural Show on Saturday 18 August. This year's event is on Saturday 12th May in the Village Hall and this year it is being organised by and for the benefit of the Halls. It is a 'black tie and posh frock' affair, with entertainment from duo 'Pete and Hugh' who perform popular music from the 60s to present day.
Numbers are limited so book now to avoid disappointment.
John Ingall, the club secretary, says that the club will provide people with bowls, and just asks for everyone to come wearing flat shoes or trainers. It will be an opportunity for people to come and see what bowls is all about in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The Bowling Club was established in 1747 and the green, which is behind The Castle restaurant opposite the Church, has been in use ever since then.
