Well it’s time to get your diaries out and get booking in all the great events of 2010.
2009 saw the very first Thornton in Craven Safari Supper. Although many greeted this with trepidation, all were pleasantly surprised at how fantastic an evening it was. It became a ‘must do’ for 2010. Already I have put things in motion having a date set of Saturday 27th March and already have a very encouraging take up rate. Of course this event was and always will have, a limit on participants. Hopefully we can get some more residents on board, but it will be on a ‘first come first served’ basis.
For those of you unfamiliar with this event, here is the format:
Saturday 27th March. We all meet at the Village Hall at 6.45 pm PROMPT
Please note that people doing starters need not meet, just be ready for your 6 guests to arrive at 7.00pm
Only when the starters are finished will the host open their envelope to reveal where everyone goes for their next course. Of course if you are doing fish you will know you have to get home to receive your 6 different guests. You will be expected to be at your fish course for 7.50pm
The same will happen for the main course and you will be expected to arrive there at 8.40pm
You will have a bit more time to chew over the main course and will be expected to arrive for dessert at 9.40pm
Remember, you will only know where your next course is as each course is completed. Expect to drive to some of your courses but hopefully you will be in ever decreasing circles to finally arrive at the Village Hall for 10.30 till 11.30ish
Recap:
Meet 6.45 prompt
Starter 7.00
Fish 7.50
Main 8.40
Dessert 9.40
Party 10.30
Maps and directions to assist will be provided. Also, more information will be sent as and when it becomes available.
Until the final number is confirmed and Debbie and I sit down to sort out the ‘who, where and which course’ . You will not know any more. However, if you have any questions or special requests, then please get in touch with me at pbowdler@aol.com
Some more exciting news regarding this Summers Fair will be with you before too long.
Don’t forget it’s the Casino night on Saturday the 6th February
Best Regards

Very much looking forward to this event. Last year’s was fabulous!! Thanks so much for organising again. Regards Debs x
This was just the best night ever, great fun! We set off to the village hall to receive our instructions leaving the main course simmering in the oven. Quickly back for the car, the starter course was a drive away. Back home with the car and quickly across the road where our fish couse was awaiting. Making new acquintances and sipping wine its soon time to make for home and receive our quests for the main course where we have little extra time to eat drink and relax. Opening the envelope for the final time to reveal the destination for dessert. Fantastic! Went like clockwork! Just a marvellous evening and a credit to the organisers.
Many thanks and look forward to to the 2010 SS.
Wow! such praise. Thanx Julie. Only 4 places left to fill for 2010 SS
