Events on Saturday

A busy day yesterday with visits to two Christmas bazaars and the world beating Little Waldingfield Quiz Night.

My first stop was in Bildeston, where a brilliant Christmas event in aid of the Church was taking place. Some terrific bric a brac and bling was on offer, plus an opportunity to stock up on Christmas decorations.

Beginners luck meant I won a lovely raffle prize. so hope that I will be allowed to attend next year and have another go.

I learned that the Carol Service at Bildeston Church, which will be held on the weekend before Christmas, will feature the Military Wives.   More information will be posted on this site nearer the event.

Then onto Great Waldingfield for their Christmas Fair in the Church.






It was very good to catch up with some old friends who I have not been able to see as regularly as in the past, due to my extended activities.



As usual the cakes on offer were particularly appealing and I was able to pick up a small christmas cake which will suit us very well this year.

  

Finally we participated in the Little Waldingfield Conservative Branch Annual Quiz night at the Parish Rooms.  As usual the event was heavily oversubscribed and it was good to see some new faces this year. Everyone did well with the results closely bunched.

The wiring in the kitchen at the Parish Rooms has been replaced since we nearly incinerated the Party Agent some years ago, so we were only disturbed by one eruption from the kitchen and just a slight smell of burning.  The food, provided almost single handedly by Elizabeth Tora, with home made ice cream courtesy of Margaret Maybury, was as usual first rate.

We did quite well in the quiz,  although were unfortunate to play our joker on our worst round, a rather mathmatically based set of questions on general knowledge.  I never could remember how many rods there are in a perch, or whatever.
