Sunday 20th January saw a ‘Winter Warmer’ lunch event held at the Village Hall, predominantly for older residents of the village. We had 18 altogether of whom 12 were the older villagers we were aiming at. We would have had more but a few had to drop out due to illness, which is not altogether a surprise given that this we held it in January.
The event was held at this time of the year as January is often a cold and quiet time of the year after the excitement and bustle of Christmas. Feedback was very positive with people really appreciating the opportunity to have a chat and a nice meal – which is what we were looking to achieve from the event.
Thanks to everyone who was involved in cooking / chatting or helping in any way and to the Shornden Charity for helping fund the event. We had mulled wine, an excellent cottage pie as well as a selection of desserts and cheese, We will think about next year and if so it will be advertised in the normal way – the Parish magazine, the village notice board opposite the phone box and word of mouth.
