The village must thank Tina and Paul at the Rainbow Trout for hosting the bonfire and firework party and also their staff for working so hard to give everyone such a fantastic time. It is very many years since the Scouts held their bonfires in the field next to the pub; certainly the Fireworks have improved since those days. The evening had such a lovely feel especially seeing 3 generations from many families enjoying the event. Thanks must also go to Gary and Lindsey at the Red Lion for the event with the tar Babies. We in the village of Broad Oak and Brede are so fortunate to have such good Pub Landlords.
