All villagers and  families are invited to come together to celebrate the hard work of our local farmers and the successful gathering of the harvest for another year.

Bring a contribution (savoury or sweet, hot or cold) to be added to the table to be pooled with all our tasty contributions. Water will be provided but please bring drinks to be enjoyed by your family.

Plates, glasses and cutlery will be supplied. There is no charge for the evening, as a generous offer has been received to cover the cost of the Hall.

The evening will give us a chance to meet with villagers, friends and neighbours, old and new, to enjoy a relaxed, sociable time together, with fun for children and families.

Please let one of us know if you are coming and the number in your party, so that we can prepare for everyone.
