Following the success of Mamma Mia Themed night last year, we are going to repeat the experience for St. Patrick's Day, Saturday 17th March 2012. The menu will be strictly Irish, with a main course of Irish stew, followed by a choice of dessert.
It is intended to set the hall out with tables, as with Mamma Mia, except the theme will be St Patrick's Night, so please wear something green.
The meal will start at 7:30pm with the doors open from 7pm. It is hoped to run the film from 8:30pm, and with the running time of the film of only 88 minutes, there will only be a short interval. Tickets will be £12.50 for adults and £5.00 for children, inclusive of a glass of wine or a drink from the bar. Entrance will be by ticket only.
Further information can be obtained from Barry Elsom (851713) or from any committee member. To contact please register on the village hall web site and use the forums to post messages.
