The annual Bonfire & Fireworks event hosted by North Luffenham Parish Council will be held on The Oval on Saturday 5th November 2022.
Doors Open 5.45pm; Bonfire lit 6.15pm; Fireworks 6.30pm
The Cricket Club will be running the BBQ (to raise funds to continue the good works on the wicket); Janet Whittaker & Judy Cade will be offering hot & cold refreshments from the Pavilion with home-made seasonal cake; Lin Burrows will be serving her specially prepared Mulled Wine with added Glo Sticks and sparklers. Charles Cade & Pete Burrows are in charge of lighting the fire & fireworks.
Our Chair of the Parish Council – Tim Smith – will be co-ordinating the important task of the ‘Donation bucket collection’. All this helps to offset the costs so please be generous to enable this event to continue. Please bring cash for the donations as it is difficult to set up card readers in the middle of a dark Oval!
Whilst The Scouts will be sporting high vis jackets and stewarding the perimeter and entry points, more volunteers are needed on the night to assist with ensuring a safe and enjoyable evening.
If you can help, please contact any of the above teams or Charles Cade on 01780 720467.
Thank you 😉
What a way to kick off the Christmas festivities for this year. A newly commissioned lightweight pantomime especially for North Luffenham is now written and all we need is a cast! We have had several people come forward already but to make this happen we would love more people to come forward to take part. It will be a one off special at a the Fox on 16th December so the time scale is short.
The really important thing here is that you just need enthusiasm and certainly the level of acting skill required will not be high! If you ever took part in your school nativity play you will most likely have about the right skill level, especially if you were a sheep or something similar!
It promises to be great fun for all taking part so please do volunteer. We are holding a first meeting for anyone interested in taking part or helping out at 7.00 in The Fox this Thursday 3rd November.
More news will appear here as it did with the platinum jubilee.
In the meantime please put a date in your diary for 16th December for the Great North Luffenham Pantomime,
If you would like to assist but can’t make this Thursday pleases email me at simonbrowning958@gmail.com to let me know.
Here’s looking forward to a really great fun event.
