Anniversary Dinner and Dance in Ferques – held on 15th October. Several Upchurch residents joined in the festivities. The dinner was scrumptious and the entertainment was entertaining! A good time was had by all!
School visit – School children from Ferques visited Holywell School on 18th October and joined in with lessons, break and outdoor games. They spent the morning in the school then visited Dover Castle in the afternoon. It was voted a really good day by all concerned.
