Safari Supper raises over £600

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who attended the Safari Supper on Friday evening. The event raised a fantastic £640 for the St Mary Magdalene fabric fund, which helps maintain the Grade I listed church at the heart of our village. Thank you too to all those who generously hosted, made the delicious canapés and amazing puddings. The evening was great fun with new friends made and the Memorial Hall bar extremely well supported until last orders at 11pm. We'll be back in 2025 for another mid-summer Safari Supper!
