Congratulations to the hard-working team who put together the highly successful and delicious village dinner at the Village hall on Saturday night. The evening had an Irish theme, it being St Patrick’s night. The proceedings were presided over by village Hall chairman John MacDonald, resplendent in an emerald green, sequinned bow tie.
Thanks to him, Chris Bailward, Emelie Gordon, Vicky Franklin, Maria Hawkins, and their young helpers.
Funds raised go towards the care and maintenance of the village hall.
John Macdonald, Chair, St Margaret’s Hall Committee writes:
The Village Hall committee would like to thank all those villagers who participated in and donated to the St Patrick’s day fundraiser. We are constantly amazed and gratified by the generosity of our community of Horsington and South Cheriton. Needless to say, we raised a considerable sum for Hall funds which will go in some way to cover some of our recent heavy costs.
I would also like to say thank you to my hard-working committee for their support in running the Hall Dinner. Praise for the chefs, Vicky Franklin, Emelie Gordon, Maria Hawkins, Anthea Hughes and Sarah Warren. Thanks to Chris Bailward and Paddy Hughes for their organisational skills and to Sally Collins, Jackie Pyne and Gareth Cherry, who while unable to be with us, gave support. Also, thanks must go to the many diners who supported us with puddings, including Annie Bailward’s ‘historic’ bread-and-butter pudding. Finally, a big thank you to Phillipa and Andrew at the Half Moon for providing the Colcannon side dish.
Judging by the many notes of thanks I have received dinner went down well. (Pun intended).
