Tree'. Thanks in particular to JP for building the Grotto, Fiona for leading the
carols, and Wendy, Roy and Will at the Red Hart

Bonfire and Fireworks Night
|
A big thank you to everyone who attended the village Bonfire and Fireworks
display, and in particular to the volunteers who helped on the day. The fire was
really big this year thanks to some contributions from the construction firm
building the affordable homes in West Beckham.
The event was really well attended but despite this we only broke even - this
reduces the amount of money available to support the community and to put on
next year’s event - only by coming through the gate can we ensure that the event
can happen again, and also continue to put on the Father Christmas event. |
