Curry & Quiz success!

Thank you to everyone who came to the Curry & Quiz evening last night. Over 60 people came and enjoyed a variety of curries, cooked by volunteers from across the village, washed down with plenty of beer and wine. The quiz was expertly run by Helen Young, ably assisted by husband Sam, with questions spanning multiple subjects and time periods. The winning team were presented with six bottles of wine thanks to the Friends of St Mary Magdalene. Chair of the Friends of St Mary Magdalene, Steve Mackenzie-Lawrie, made an appeal for new volunteers and committee members to join. Please contact Steve at steve.mlawrie@btinternet.com.
