St Andrew Day

72 people gathered in St Wilfrid’s Church Hall on Thursday 30 November to celebrate St Andrew Day. The Haggis was piped in by Mrs Jane Palmer, this got the evening off to a good start. The Tatties and Neeps were kindly donated and cooked by Butch at the Star and Garter, he also cooked the Haggis. Sarah made the trifles, Doreen Blackband made beautiful table arrangements, Rita Blow and Brenda Robertson prepared the Hall, Scott Amos, Rod Sanders and Christopher Hill acted as waiters. Janet and Bert Wood were behind the scenes in the kitchen. The meal ended with tea/coffee and shortbread. The WOW Singers (Wilfrids Occasional Warblers) opened the entertainment, Jill Corah sang two solos, Gaynor Little read a monologue, Jane Palmer played her bagpipes and Margaret Amos read two poems. The evening rounded off with everyone joining the WOW Singers to sing two songs.
'Grateful thanks to Jane Foster for her patience, time and direction in getting us into shape'.
A good night was had by all and £500 was raised for the St Wilfrid’s Church Fabric Fund.
My sincere thanks to all who gave their support and everyone who came to make the evening a success.
