Last quiz great success

The quiz night in November in Little wick was a great success, thanks to quiz master Richard Curry (Parish treasurer) and wife Vivian. Unfortunately, it was the last time they will set or run a quiz for us,. We own them many thanks. The Village Hall was packed to capacity and £654.86 was raised for Littlewick church.

A  VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO MARGARET

Extra special thanks is due to Margaret Burton who has been cooking the delicious Young at Heart lunches for the last 15 years. A warm thank you also to her team. It takes a special sort of person who can think of something delicious to cook every two weeks and then cook it for so many! Everyone who comes from across the Parish is very appreciative and thoroughly enjoys the food and the friendly atmosphere. i

BURCHETTS GREEN HEAD TEACHER WRITES:

Burchetts Green Village Association has invited us to take part in 'Carols on the Green' on Saturday December 17 at 5.30pm.This is an open air, candle-lit event which is held under the large oak tree opposite The Crown in Burchetts Green. It will be a lovely opportunity for the children to experience one aspect of a village Christmas and many families intend to join us. The schoolis running a lunch time choir so that the children can learn the traditional carols that we associate with childhood Christmases. I hope that you will be able to join this occasion.
Kind regards,
