A look back at our past events
Parish Hall Quiz Night 24 February 2012
Over 120 people took part in the quiz and enjoyed a fish and chip supper in aid of the Parish Hall on Friday 24th February 2012. Malcolm Baker, the quiz master, gave us a few challenges amongst his assortment of general knowledge questions.
The evening, which was a very successful, raised over £750. Barclaycard supported the event through Mrs Caroline Beddows-Leach and doubled the proceeds.
Thank you to all those who took part and supported us.
Burns Night Parish Hall 28 January 2012
More than 80 people celebrated Burns Night at the Parish Hall an event organised in aid of the fabric fund of Holy Cross.
The haggis was piped in and the Address To a Haggis was delivered by Mike Stretton:
Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o' the puddin-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy o' a grace
As lang's my arm.
An excellent meal was served - Scotch Broth, Haggis with neeps and tatties followed by trifle and inbetween, several opportunities to toast Robbie Burns.
The Scottish and country dancing was led by the Ceilidh Band Sleeping Moggy, and the evening ended at midnight with the traditional Auld Lang Syne.

Bonfire Night
5 November 2011
We were very fortunate with the weather this year for Bonfire Night. The firework display was one of the best we have ever had thanks to Andrew and Peter Stratton and assistants Denis and Matthew Townsend. The music was organised by Malcolm Townsend and Peter Barnes and greatly added to the atmosphere. Thanks go to John Woollett and Roger Clark for supervising the bonfire, James Hawtin for the loan of a digger, Richard and Roger Burt for the lighting and Duncan Townsend for the safety barrier. This is an annual parish event which always receives plenty of support from everyone. Thank you for helping to make it a safe event. Barclaycard supported this event and the proceeds will go towards the Senior Citizens Christmas Lunch and the refurbishment.
