Bank Holiday BBQ 2010
Sunshine, sizzling sausages, salmon, sumptuous salads, super sweets and serenades from 'Jazz Moves' ! What more
could you want after a lovely walk?
Between 50 and 60 H & G members enjoyed a great day out in the country on Bank Holiday Monday. We started
with a choice of walks from Bix village hall, led by John and Jane Case. The longer walk took in Greys court,
Merrymoles and the Fleming Estate; the shorter walk went to Bix Bottom and Catslip. Food was organised by
Tilley Smith and she and a team of cooks led by Chief Chef Ray Maguire stayed behind to get it ready for the
returning hungry walkers. The pleasure of the excellent meal was greatly enhanced by music, provided by Colin
Heaven's band. As usual many members contributed to the success of the day making salads and sweets or helping
with setting up and clearing away. Thanks to all for making it such an enjoyable day!
Arts and Culture Group
The group is thriving as more members use the e-mail list (which anyone can choose to join) to tell others
about interesting cultural events or to organise group outings. This year we’ve seen lots of films, several
concerts, operas, ballet, concerts, special exhibition visits. We’re always open to new ideas!
