This next offering from the North Luffenham Fun Club takes place on 16th May 2026 from 7.00pm in the North Luffenham School Hall.

The Race Night proved an amazing success with many lucky winners. Great fun was had by all and so many of you gave rave reviews. (Thank you all so much!) I know some of you wanted tickets and missed out, which was such a shame as those who came had a brilliant evening of fun and merriment. So make sure you get your tickets in plenty of time for this next fun packed evening.

The ability to dance is far from high up on the list of requirements! A fantastic band and caller will be on hand to guide us all through the evening. I have never met anyone who is not keen to “strip the willow” given half a chance!

Tickets are on sale now from the usual sources so forget your inner ying and yang and let out your suppressed yee and hah on 16th May!

See you there!

Margaret Jones, long standing resident of North Luffenham, has sadly passed away. There will be a funeral service for her at the Church at 2pm on Friday 5th June.

This Post will expire at 4:58pm on Saturday June 6th, 2026.
