East, drink, play music, dance or simply watch the boats go by!
…to the three families who hosted the Progressive Supper and the organisers and helpers. No mean achievement and an awful lot of work. It was greatly enjoyed by participants young and old and the weather was kind. Thank you.
Have you ever thought of joining the WI?
Surlingham WI meets at 7.30pm on the first Thursday of every month, usually at Surlingham village hall. As well as providing a great opportunity to meet other women from the village, there is an intriguing programme of events throughout the year! So far this year we have had several visiting speakers on such wide ranging topics as Life in the 17th Century and Sugarcraft. In addition to the monthly meetings we organise trips to the theatre and visits to gardens. We also like to play games and have competitions.
This coming Thursday the topic is stage makeup and special effects, and our speaker will be Mr Richmond.
If you would like to come along for a taster session, please do. Ladies young and old are welcome and there is no obligation to join.
A reminder that this weekend is the second and final weekend of ‘Celebration 2012’. This time events focus around Surlingham including the Willow workshop at The Staithe, ‘Visit the Sailing Club’ and ‘Folk at the Ferry’. Have a look at the programme under special events.
Please note the following instructions for parking at the Staithe ‘the gate is 100 yards past the hairpin bend and then people will have to drive through the common down to the Staithe, the grass has been mowed today, the width of a car’
