The May Bank holiday weekend was well underway at the Thornhams Village Hall, Friday evening, 30th April. Villagers from the Thornhams, their friends and family joined each other for an evening of fellowship, friendship and fundraising.
Guests were offered a free glass of excellent wine, served by trustee Laurie Calkin, with the opportunity to purchase further glasses. The fine selection and variety of cheese was accompanied by witty explanations of their name and provenance and accompanied with fresh French bread and a selection of crackers. The table display, organised by trustee Priscilla Macrae, was first-rate.
Following this,a game of ‘whisky bowling’ to entertain the guests and kick off the fundraising was begun. Lead by chairman Mark Tibbenham and trustee Ian Macrae, the two demonstrated to everyone how to roll a £1 coin towards the whisky bottle. Many attempts were made … but in the end Steve walked away with the coveted bottle of whisky.
And in this genial atmosphere ensued the draw for the raffle. Assisted by trustee Rosemary Tyler, each winner drew out the following ticket. Winners had a range of prizes to pick from, including a sumptuous basket of fresh fruit, chocolates, wine, pots of lilies, packets of seeds, as well as other sundries.
In all £75 was raised to help with the upkeep and maintenance of the village hall. Thank you to everyone for their donations, hard work, and for supporting this event.
