If you can't join us for the charity quiz on Friday at the Bush, we want to give you a chance to be a part of our Auction of Promises – a highlight of the evening!
This auction will be a wonderful display of community spirit, by generous villagers who have offered their time and skills, from cooking and wine tasting to that much-needed babysitting promise that would give you a much-needed night out!
Please submit your bids by 5pm on Friday, 10 October:
You can also buy tickets for the beverage raffle - see the list below: £5 a ticket
