Quiz Night Result


The quiz was attended by 50 people, not as many as other years, but we were competing with a function at Manton on the same night. Refreshments were the usually homemade soups and a selection of bite size desserts.

Winners of the quiz were Tom and Jane Gilmore and Richard and I collectively known as “Batemores”!

There was about ten raffle prizes, so I can’t tell you who got what really, just that it was well supported, as was the bar, which culminated in a final total of £663.00 with all expenses paid.

Thanks to all concerned.

Judith’s Knee Op


Update Monday 16th Nov:

Stitches out. Zimmer walker returned. Walking cane thrown away. Cleared to DRIVE. Surgeon’s grading, “Progress excellent”. But still several weeks of physio.

Update Friday 6th Nov:

She’s home! Surgery went well. She will no doubt tell you all about it when she is less drugged up.

Judith Oakley’s knee was replaced successfully this morning in a 3-hour operation at St Joseph’s Hospital, Bellingham.

The surgeon described it as the worst knee he had seen in 14 years but as it was all replaced there should be no further problems.

She is expected to be home at the end of the week.
