Sports Day – We had a great day on 27th August, with lots of games played and lots of French language tried out! 47 residents of Ferques joined us at the Recreation Ground and Scout Hall and they have written to express their thanks for a most enjoyable day. Thank you to all those people of Upchurch who joined in with this event, which, apart from us all having a good time, was a valuable way of cementing our links with Ferques.
Diary dates for you:
Saturday 15th October – Anniversary Dinner and Dance in Ferques, in Elinghen Village Hall. A set meal with some Celtic music. Cost will be 18€ each from 7.30pm. Tickets now available from us but you need to book by 7th October. It’ll go on all evening so you’ll need a late ferry home or a stop-over in a hotel or B&B. Come along – it will be a really good night!
Tuesday 18th October – School children from Ferques will visit Holywell School – do say “bon jour” if you see them in the village!
Saturday 5th November – Scout Group Fireworks at Westmoor Farm – Find the Twinning Group, who will be selling their famous, delicious bacon rolls again!
And for 2012:
Saturday 28th January 2012 – Quiz night at our School – always popular, more details nearer the time!
Sunday 15th April 2012 – Upchurch Choral Society will be performing in the church at Ferques – again more details nearer the time.
FRIENDS OF THE TWINNING GROUP – Our “Friends of the Upchurch Twinning Group” has a healthy membership now, but we would always welcome anyone who would be willing to give practical support e.g. on stalls, or at events, giving hospitality etc etc. Just let us know!
