ST PATRICK'S NIGHT PARTY AT THE SUN

FASHION SHOW
The fashion show at Chipping Norton Golf Club was a great success.
We raised just over £1200! This has been divided between Katharine House Hospice and the Lee Stratford Community Trust.
We would like to thank everyone who helped us beforehand and on the day. A special mention for all our models, some of whom had hair styles that they would never have dreamed of asking for.
Thank you to all our clients for listening constantly to our arrangements being made and for taking such an interest.
Here's to the next one – once Jill and I have recovered that is!

BLUE MEANIES
17TH FEB HOOK NORTON SPORTS & SOCIAL CLUB
Thanks to everyone who came along and supported the first of many events at the HNSSC The 'Meanies' as ever were brilliant and kicked off our calendar of social activities just how we'd hoped for; the tail feathers shook all night.
Special thanks go to Dave White for his help serving on the bar and to Terry Warner whose glass washing skills kept Kerrie, Dave and I fully prepared for the seemingly endless stream of thirsty mouths all night (well done to everyone who kept us busy!) Thanks also to 'The Gate Hangs High ' and 'Tom Williams' from the village shop for their wonderful raffle prizes - The raffle in total raised £98, thanks again to all who contributed.
If you want a chance to see the boys in action again (that's the Blue Meanies not Dave and Terry !!) they will be entertaining us again later on this year on December 1st at our Christmas Ball. Tickets on sale in the summer, price is to include a 4 course Traditional Turkey supper, watch this space in the next newsletter for full details. As with all our events members will have priority purchasing tickets.
If you wish to join the club and become member and take advantage of this and loads more special deals call Janet. Or for more information about events, room hire, party bookings, youth club or the programme of sporting fixtures at the club give me a call my numbers below. Please see separate adverts throughout this newsletter for individual event details (well done to Kerrie for all of those!!!)
Once again thank you to all who came to Valentines with the Blue Meanies we had a fab night!!!
Hope to see you again soon.

Diamond Wedding
of
HM Queen Elizabeth II and Philip, Duke of Edinburgh
Your Village Museum together with Hook Norton Brewery
will celebrate this occasion in the latter part of the year
with an exhibition in the Brewery and Village Museums.
We are looking to exhibit wedding dresses,
their accompanying stories and photographs
together with a floral decoration for each.
Ideally, we would like to have at least
one or two of the wedding dresses from 1947.
We need your support:
Do you still have your wedding dress?
Would you loan it to the Museums for about a week?
Do you have some wedding photos and stories to accompany the dress?
Flower Arrangers
We will need your help.
If you can help in any way please contact Paula Clarke
Music at the Crossroads 2007
Saturday 7th July
Following last years sweltering day where over £7,500 was raised for local groups, charities and the Leukaemia Research Fund, planning is well underway for this year's event.
Getting the right headline band M@C is always a challenge - staying true to our roots as a rock, folk and blues festival as well as selected an exciting band to get everyone up on their feet.
So in our 11th year we've moved from the 60's/70's to a band that appeared on the scene in the late 80's and are still producing new material today. They are ……..
The Men They Couldn't Hang (TMTCH) are a rousing folk rock band. The genre is Pogues, Levellers, folk rock meets The Clash! Visit www.tmtch.net for more details.
The full line-up is almost completed and features a great blend of young new Oxfordshire bands alongside our more experienced entertainers. Other bands that are playing include the Blue Meanies http://www.musicprod.co.uk/page4.html
M@C 11 will also give the opportunity for some of the amazing new local talent growing up right here in our village to play in front of a large crowd.
As well as great music we are planning to put on even more stalls and activities, especially for children - so if you have a great idea, want to run a stall and sell crafts etc. then please contact us as soon as possible. So Saturday July 7this the date so put it in the diary! Same field (behind the Gate Hangs High), same time (1.30-11.30pm).
For those of you who are new to the village or have never been to Music at the Crossroads, it is our own village festival or giant picnic! Great music for all tastes/styles, children's entertainment, great raffle, food stalls, beer tent, stalls, free bus service to/from the village and a relaxed fun day.
So tell your friends/family and keep the date free for a great day.
Please send any ideas / suggestions to HNCA via Pete Watkins petewatkins4@aol.com or Peter Skelton
