Letters to the Editors
QUIZ NIGHT
Dear Editors,
We would like to thank everyone who came to the quiz on Saturday 13th November we hope that you all enjoyed yourselves. We do like to hear any feed back about the different categories, we understand that some of you didn't enjoy the music round, we will try and do more of a mixed bag next time. Congratulations to the team Quizzimodo who won. We would like to give a big thank you to the ladies , Shirley, Kate and Betty who helped with the food and in the kitchen and of course not forgetting Ron who we think was chained to the kitchen sink by Betty.
Another big thank you goes to Andrew who once again was our quiz master and did a fine job. And the last thank you goes to all of you who donated the raffle prizes especially Pru and Clifton who always makes up a goodie box. The proceeds from the night, which was £350 goes to St. Mary's Church.
The next quiz is on the 12th March we hope to see you all there.
Yes, and many thanks to Lynne and Jenny for another fine Quiz night, the only problem being that we woz robbed....Eds
The Gaye Bulleid Award
Dear Editors,
Rumour has it that following the amalgamation of the Swaffham Prior and the Swaffham Bulbeck WIs the Gaye Bulleid Award will not be presented this year.
This is a pity. Many think the outstanding contestant for good works this year is the Committee which advised villagers on the traveller question.
The Committee comprised Chris Carrington, Mike Carrington, Shaun Cole, Adrian Dickens, David Greenfield, Martin Mead, Michael Mead, Neil Steven and Jeremy Zeid.
Maybe, as with the Lottery, their names can be carried over to next year?
Village Hall Amnesty
Dear Editors,
Swaffham Prior Village Hall Management Committee are declaring a "Knife (and a fork, spoon, plate, cup, saucer and bowl) Amnesty" with immediate effect. Our stock of these objects is rather diminished. Some may have been borrowed, some may have been taken away to be washed, or simply taken by accident; whatever the reason, we would prefer that they were returned, rather than having to buy new replacements from the Hall funds.
So, if any of the above items (or anything else belonging to the Village Hall) are lurking in your cupboards or drawers, please return them: NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
Returned goods can be given to either to the ladies running the After School Club at the Village Hall between 3pm and 6pm on weekdays (termtime only), or to a Committee Member.
Please do not interrupt classes, parties, etc., by returning items to the Village Hall at other times.
Many thanks
Advent by Candlelight
Dear Editors ,
Thanks to the generosity of so many people in the village the annual 'Advent by Candlelight 'presented by The Cambridge Voices and friends was once again a very successful occasion. This year after expenses £274 has been sent to Emmaus Cambridge to help them in their work to house , train and reemploy the homeless and unemployed in the local area. Writing this note in the end of November cold spell I am sure they will put this contribution to good use without delay .
Many thanks for your continuing support of this worthy cause .
