Sunset on Summer 2016
It was a picture perfect day for our third annual Sunset on Summer Chicken BBQ! We had eat-in or take-out chicken with all the fixings, bar and raffle draw.

Raising the Roof!
You may have noticed a lot of action at the Town Hall recently as our new metal roof is being installed. Improvements to the Town Hall are a result of community support and the work of many hardworking volunteers to ensure the building remains in the heart of the village for years to come.
