Twinning

Thank you to those who supported our Wine Tasting Evening and the quiz based on places in France. No one got all the answers correct but Kath Metcalf was the winner with 48 out of 50 places identified.

I hope that you have bought your copy of our quiz on places in France but if not look out for them in the Brookhouse Convenience store, speak to any of the committee or ring 770002.

Your entries have to be in by Monday 23rd November and we are going to announce the winner at our wine tasting evening on November 27th in St Paul's Church Hall.

We are planning a repeat of our very successful wine tasting evening; this will be on Friday 27th November, and will again be hosted by Barry Howarth of "The Wineyard". The format is expected to be the same as last time, with a fun wine quiz as well as a tutored tasting session.

I am pleased to say that the visit of 25 people from our twinned village of Socx in July went very well.

Thank you to all those who supported our strawberries and cream stall at the Gala. Pity it wasn't really the weather for it! Perhaps soup would have been better!

Thank you to all those who supported our games evening. Our plans for the visit of a group from Socx from 16-19th July are well under way. We are not sure how many will come but suspect that it will be a larger group than last time. During the visit, we try to find host families for everyone, even though we may have to separate older children from their parents!

Our next fund raising event will be a Games Evening on a French theme on Friday 24th April in St Paul's Church Hall, Brookhouse. This should be a fun event for all the family. Tickets, available from members of the committee, Brookhouse Convenience store or ring 770002, are £5 for adults and £2.50 for children. This will include a glass of wine or soft drink and nibbles.

Thank you to all who supported our textile collection last month.

On Friday 28th November we are hosting a "Wine Tasting" evening when Barry Howarth of "The Wineyard", Princes Crescent, Bare will be giving a talk on French wines.

A social occasion with wines to sample, food to eat and also to hear about our recent trip to Socx.
