Thank you to all our volunteers and visitors who braved the elements to join us at our annual Wassail in Donkey Lane Community Orchard. It was touch and go as to whether it went ahead. Luckily the wind died down (slightly) although we still had to tie down the refreshment table.
We certainly made a lot of noise as we paraded around the
Orchard to ward off bad luck and mischievous spirits so they stay away and
don’t steal the fruit!
Our thanks to Claire Conway-Crapp from Mid
Shires Orchard Group who did a marvellous job of leading the Wassail and to
Rev’d Jacky Barr for the final blessing. And of course who could forget our
special guest, Stickman who had a great time and hopes to come along to some
more of our Orchard events.
Our next event will be the Greening Chinnor Quiz: February
23rd, 7.15 pm at the Village Hall. Tickets £5 per person, tables of
up to 8. Book a table/ticket by calling David on 01844 353349. Cash only
please. Can be paid on the door.
The next events at the Orchard will be in conjunction with the
South Oxfordshire Archaeology Group 24th & 25th
February (details to follow) and hopefully our Blossom Day on the 27th
April.
Wassail! Good health, wealth and happiness to you for 2024!
