Surlingham

During the afternoon of Easter Monday (6 April) Lee Vasey will be performing here at The Ferry House from 4pm – do come along, always popular and always great fun!

Come along to The Ferry House in Surlingham on 3 April (Good Friday!) and listen to the “quirky & western” sounds of The Doohickies from 8pm!

Thank you to everyone who came along to the Surlingham Fayre Quiz at the Ferry pub on Saturday.  I do hope you all enjoyed the evening.  Thanks too go to our question setters for their teasers and of course a huge thank you to Sonia and her team for their warm welcome and for providing a very tasty hot supper……. not to mention the specially created deserts!

After paying for the supper we made £82.50 on the tickets and Barbara collected a further £45 on the raffle so thank you all.  The profits will be added to the takings from this year’s fayre and is ultimately destined mainly for the church repairs with a proportion going to the village hall.

Where can you go for a meal and entertaining evening, and raise money to help maintain St Mary’s Church all for £7.50?

The Ferry House tomorrow night is the answer. All welcome for an appetising buffet kindly provided by Sonia at The Ferry, and a few light rounds of quiz questions.  No need to have a team organised – just turn up and they will find you one!  If you don’t want the buffet – quiz only is just £2.50.

It would help Sonia if you book ahead by phoning the The Ferry (538659). Buffet at 6.30pm, quiz starts at 7.30pm.

Information from Sonia Cox and earlier publicity.

Everyone is invited to come along to a new monthly book club, in Surlingham. The initial meeting will be on Wed 25th March 7-9pm at Flint Cottage, Church Lane, Surlingham (very near the church).
