October Charity Quiz

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 09:50:53 +0000

The last charity quiz at the end of October raised a fantastic £550.00 for the St Agatha’s church extyension fund. Andy yet again devised a brilliant quiz and a good time was had by all.

N.B. Our next quiz is on Monday the 30th November and is in aid of Dogs Trust

Apple Day - Sunday 18th October

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 16:36:07 +0100

Apple day was really brilliant. I have never seen so many different types of apples in one place. There were plenty of people around to taste and buy local apple juice, cider and honey and find out about all the different varieties of apples and other fruit in our village. Check out the photos on the gallery

Brewing talk - Monday 12th October

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 09:52:00 +0100

This talk was really fantastic. Chris Hearn from Loddon Brewery gave a fascinating talk about how he brews his beer and brought some of the ingredients used for us to feel, taste and smell. Check out the photos on the gallery

Baby Wednesdays - 10.00 - 12.00 a.m.

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 17:36:00 +0100

As so many babies were born in Brightwell this year we are now having baby Wednesdays from 10.00 to 12.00 so mums, dads and babies can get together for a chat and some cake. (and Sue gets to hold babies and pretend to be a granny!!)

BrightFest - Sat. 13th and Sun 14th June,

Wed, 20 May 2009 15:57:00 +0100

We were so lucky with the weather for BrightFest 2009. The sun shone all weekend. All the bands were fantastic and I have asked them to play again next year already. The burgers were delicious - everyone said so!!. Great fun was had by all and an added bonus was that £600.00 was raised for a new village shop in the village.

Thanks you so much to everyone who helped to make it such a success and who came and supported us.

Jazz Jam - 1st Sunday of every month

Thu, 21 Feb 2008 10:35:00 +0000

The first few Jazz Jams have been really great. About 10 musicians turn up with saxophones, clarinets, drums, keyboard and guitar. The standard of musicianship is excellent and the music very easy listening. There can’t be many opportunities to listen to such good music free of charge (and even join in if you feel so inclined!!)

Come along on the 7th September to see for yourself

Darts

Tue, 29 Jan 2008 11:19:00 +0000

We now have a dart board, (and a light!!)

Unfortunately as the only place with a high enough ceiling for the board was in the restaurant we can only play on Sunday and Monday nights (and possibly Tuesday nights if we are not too busy) but we thought that was better than nothing so come along and have a game. Once we have all had a practise we may even get competitive!!

Quizzes at the Red Lion

Fri, 11 Jan 2008 14:50:00 +0000

Our monthly charity quizzes continue to be really popular and great fun. Generally, the more people the organiser of the quiz gets to come, the more money they raise!

We have raised over £5000.00 over the past year and a half so if you would like to raise money for a good cause give us a ring to discuss.

Fri, 11 Jan 2008 14:48:00 +0000

French Lessons

Fri, 11 Jan 2008 13:48:00 +0000

Sandrine Arnould

Sandrine will be continuing her informal French conversation lessons this term on Monday and Tuesday mornings. £10.00 an hour including a cup of our delicious coffee.

All levels of French catered for.

The lessons last term seemed fun, in fact from what I could see there was far too much laughter going on for it to be educational!!!

Ring Sandrine for more information 01491 834 699 or 07737 444 350.
