St Ippolyts Church Quiz 2016

Thank you to everyone who purchased a church quiz sheet this autumn. This years quiz was all about TV programmes from any decade since the 1950s. Clearly this years quiz was too easy as there were 11 correct entries returned!

I put all the entries with the correct answers into a bucket and Mary, my wife,  picked out the two winners.

First prize goes to Jane Veasey, yes this was genuine and not a fix!!

Second prize goes to Malcolm Todd.

Congratulations to both our winners.

Look out for another quiz next year.

Christmas Community Lunch at the Bull, Gosmore

Over fifty members of our community enjoyed a wonderful  Christmas Community Lunch at the Bull at Gosmore today. St Ippolyts and Gosmore Parish Council sponsored the event but the real heros were Kim and Charlie of the Bull who treated us all to a splendid lunch of Soup,Turkey with all the trimmimgs and Christmas pudding. Father Christmas even popped in to say "hello" and give everyone a present.

A big thank you to Kim and Charlie and their staff plus all the members of the parish Council who came along to help out. 

Our churchwarden Michael thanked everyone for all their hard work, it certainly was an excellent Christmas Lunch.
