Pimms & Petanque
Saturday 23rd August 2025
A big thank you to everyone who came along and supported the Petanque & Pimms afternoon today. It was lovely to see you all and here are a few pictures that hopefully captured the moment.
Congratulations to Ann & Richard on winning the competition
We had a good turnout and it was nice to see everyone having a good chat and enjoying the last of the summer sunshine. A big thank you to all those who helped set it all up.
I'm sure we're all looking forward to next years event where we'll be wanting to steal the title back from Ann and Richard and I promise, next time, the results will be monitored a little more closely !
Halloween Quiz
Friday 31st October 2025
The Committee would like to thank all of you who took part in this year's Halloween Quiz. 40 people took part where a complimentary drink, a Quiz, a Raffle, 3 games, Fish and Chip supper and 6 rounds of questions were enjoyed by everyone.
Starting off, everything seemed ok and 2 quizzes in, the night was proceeding as planned. However, soon after the first game of Lucky Cards having been won by Finlay, the heckling started and contestants were finding their voices, aiming them in the direction of the Quizmaster :-)
Another round of questions was had before the Fish & Chips restored some semblance of order and the Raffle, kindly dealt with by Jane Clark went down a treat. Several bottles of wine, a bottle of Gin and some chocolates were on offer, albeit with most (5 out of 6 I believe) winning tickets being held by one person. These tickets were returned to the pot for someone else to win which was most gracious and eventually, all of the prizes were split between various participants.
Nearly everyone took part in the second game of Heads or Tails which was also entered into the spirit of things with much enthusiasm. It went down to the wire with Kevin and John battling to take the winning spot, which eventually went to Kevin. Several rounds of questions later and the noise levels increased, the consumption of liquid that seemed to be a little stronger than orange juice was flowing freely and suddenly, it was all over. It was down to announcing the winners of the Quiz and the winner of the third game involving a £20 note.
Of the six teams who took part, it was a tie for first place between "The Magnificent Eight" and "No Eye Deer". The tie-breaker question was to determine who'd take top spot which fell to "No Eye Deer".
The last item of the evening was the revealing of the last two digits of a £20 note's serial number. This game was again very well attended and Jo Plews had the honour of revealing digits 5 and 8 were guessed correctly by Jane Clark. Not only did she win the cash, she was also on the winning team and so was very happy she came along :-)
The Parish Hall Management Committee are always looking to provide events such as this with as little to no cost as possible and last night, saw us raise £151 after all expenses had been paid out. This was a fabulous result and we thank everyone for being so generous in taking part in the whole evening's entertainment.
We look forward to seeing you all again next year.
