THE annual Christmas Party at the Village Hall raised £1,183 for charity - the largest amount in the history of the event.

The money will be divided between the Phyllis Tuckwell and Chase hospices.

Mary Grove, on behalf of the organisers, said she was delighted that the party had broken its previous best and thanked all those who helped make the evening such a success.

Local band Toxic Sausage again proved immensely popular, had everyone dancing, and closed to rapturous applause and demands for an encore.

Thank you to all those who supported the event in many different ways and to those who put in the hard work  to make it a great evening.

The party, attended by almost 100 people, was held on Saturday (December 12th). A small selection of pictures taken during the night can be seen on the "photos" section of this website.  PHOTOS HERE
