The Seniors Tea Party: took place last Saturday, and over fifty villagers enjoyed a delicious tea, with many comments about what a wonderful afternoon it had been. After tea Tim Gibson from Bexhill entertained, playing the guitar and singing favourite 50's and 60's hits; his Roy Orbison songs were particularly good, and several people got up and danced. A raffle was held for the beautiful flower arrangements on each table. The Committee thanks the WCA for funding this event and the extra helpers on the day.
