Report

 

A very jolly time was had by all at the Friends’ Christmas Party in December, including two of our new patrons Mark Murphy and Lesley Dolphin (above centre, dancing a polka with John Howson from EATMT). Colin and Karen Cater sang a selection of seasonal and local songs, and passed
around not one but two wassail cups! Dave and Maggie Hunt came out from behind the frying pans in the kitchen to entertain us in the old Music Hall style (above, left), and Reg Reader and Tom Knight delighted us with dulcimer duets before Tony Hall came on and bemused us with his Norfolk talk, thrilled us with his gorgeous music and totally brought the house down with his new song - a lullaby - you have to hear it to understand! Many thanks to all who donated raffle prizes and helped with the preparation. Special thanks go to Grange Farm Shop, Hasketon, Hollowtrees Farm Shop near Hadleigh and the East of England Co-op, and Grange Farm Butchers from Woolpit who supplied the delicious sausages for the meal.
