Fish and chip quiz supper

9/3/2024

Once again Vince, our quiz supremo, reigned as he hosted a successful evening. Fish and chips (with pie and other alternatives) were enjoyed as brain food before the questions started this year without a picture round. Did you know when the £2 coin was introduced (1997) or can you put the battles of Bosworth, Waterloo, Agincourt and Stamford Bridge in date order from the oldest first? Turned out the winning team "March Hares" could do so. The runners up question to the rest concerned each team working out the square mileage of Lake Ontario and with a lot of low guesses two teams went high with answers of 1800 and 12700 were not close but both were about 5000 miles out. The actual answer of 7550 lead the runners up prize going to team "Lost the Plot."
There was also a guess the sweet competition which ended up with two winners who both guessed 192.
With thanks to our quiz master Vince and all the rest of the team for a really enjoyable evening which raised £229 for Chapel funds.

Open Gardens weekend success

3/9/2023

The sunny lovely weather helped bring in a lots of visitors and made the 2023 open gardens event a proper success. Many thanks to all the eight gardens as well as the hordes of volunteers who manned stalls and made or served refreshments. Without any of you it would not have been such a spectacular weekend. Final total is still being counted but its heading for over £2000 in total.

And for those who saw Arthurs tractor it does move.

Postscript
One of gardeners was out shopping and was approached by a lady who said "didn't you open your garden up last weekend?" On the affirmative she continued "we had such a marvellous afternoon in Nether Whitacre. Everyone was so friendly. the gardens were all beautiful and the cakes delicious!"

Well done everyone.

Coronation celebrations

Over 60 people joined us at the church this afternoon for tea and cake. Choir led the singalong and everyone joined in old folk songs. It was all good fun but if you did not get your Coronation coins, you must contact the parish clerk or speak to Jill.
Thanks to all who made cakes, washed up or put up decorations for this special event.

Fish and chip quiz night

12/2/2022

Once again our popular quiz night was back. This years teams had to have a name based on the three letters preset by our quizmaster which led to some different names to normal. Vince tasked us with a wide range of questions in five rounds plus a picture round which became very closely fought; only one mark ended up separating the top teams. However "ability gone west" won through and were awarded prizes. Our thanks to Vince for his questions and to all who helped tidy and clean up making the evening such a success.
