The Carnival and Recreation Committee would like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year. A big thank you to everyone who came along tonight to sing Carols. Ashbourne Town Band were on top form and we are all now feeling extra Christmassy. Also a big thank you to Tarmac for donating the village Christmas tree and to Rob for the awesome mince pies (best ones around).
Finally on behalf of the Carnival and Recreation Committee I would like to thank everyone for their continued support throughout 2021 and I hope you all get to enjoy a lovely Christmas period.

Bonfire toffee winner
Posted in Carnival & Recreation on Saturday November 6, 2021| Leave a Comment »
A big thank you to all those that entered our bonfire toffee competition and to Valerie K for judging. The winner was Edwina Flower with batch 2 and was described by Val as ‘just to my liking and delicious’. For those of a similar age to me this will not be a shock as Edwinas bonfire toffee is legendary.
The prize is being delivered to Edwina today. Let us know if you would like us to do it again next year.
The generosity of people last night was greatly appreciated, as was the hard work of all the volunteers (which is still continuing with the big clean up). So from me and the Committee, THANK YOU it all means we can carry on for another year 😊🎇
