Waldron
AT THE PUB: String Theory (string-driven swing) will be performing on Sunday (lunchtime) and the following day there will be the last Pub Quiz of the year. In a change to the usual pattern, the charge will be £10, but it will include not only a main course, but a pudding as well. Otherwise the evening will be as usual, a trawl through the kind of obscure detritus you may have retained from your schooldays, pop knowledge from past decades, and bizarre sporting and TV programme facts to be dragged out from forgotten recesses of your brains by no more than six people per team. It starts at 7.30 and is always a competitively cheerful evening. The Star Christmas menu is now out so ask a member of staff if you’d like a look at it. Early indications are that the pub will be open on Christmas Day from midday until 2pm. Boxing Day will be closed all day and there will be dinner served on New Year’s eve. On New Year’s Day there will be the traditional brunch from 10am (my favourite way to start the New Year) including bubbly.
KNITTING GROUP: The village’s Knitting Group will meet on Monday at Lark Rise at 2pm as usual.
