Wimbledon Day at Hatton

All welcome to our Wimbledon Day on Sun 4th July. There will be a television courtside (actually in our wooden cabin which is near enough), strawberries and cream and some other nibbles as well as some tennis to be played if you want to emulate the style of the finalists on the telly (or even if you don't!!). All quite informal but good fun.
Cost £1 / head.
From 1.30pm

Quiz night

I'm sure everyone who was at the quiz night would like to thank Bill Watson who was an excellent quiz-master. The winners were Paul, Ian & Christine Thomson, who, it must be admitted, had the benefit of youth on their side. The runners up were Yvonne McRaith-Smith with Heather & Jim Hughes; Lynn & Jim Brown with Caroline & Mike Newton (yes - that's 4 people) and Louise Foster with Sharon and Stuart Dow.
Heather did a fine job of organising the night and the catering.
