Sutton Poyntz

Dear all,

 

A reminder about the two excellent events happening this weekend.

 

The first is the SP Society Vegetable Show on Saturday 4 August at the Mission Hall, under the stewardship of Jez Cunningham, who has given me some revised timings. Competitors are to submit their entries by 9.30am, so if you have green fingers don't miss your chance. Voting on the many and varied entries takes place between 10 am and 11 am. Next comes the world renowned “spud in a tub” contest, with weighing to start at 11am prompt, and the prizes will be presented at 11.45am.Entry including voting rights, coffee and cake is only £3, plus, if you are competing, 50p per class or £2 for four or more classes. Proceeds go to the charity 'Waves'.  Good luck!

 

Then the next day, Sunday 5 August, is the Alfresco Village Lunch organised by the Mission Hall Trust. Starting at 1pm, the lunch will comprise a main course, dessert and tea or coffee. Since the occasion will also incorporate a celebration of the 50th birthday of the Sutton Poyntz Society, they will provide a drink of Pimms on arrival plus some birthday cake with the coffee. All this for just £13/head, and you can bring your own bottle of wine, beer, champagne or water. Tickets are available from Maureen (835533), and they are selling fast! Which reminds me - I've ordered two but not paid for them yet! See you there.

 

Regards

Chris

 

PS A keen eyed Jez notes that in the last Newsbite the date of this Friday's Summer Coffee Morning should have read 3 August. My apologies to all those of you who pencilled it into your diaries for July 2019.
