A good time was had by all at the Village Hall 1940’s Tea Dance in September.  Many thanks go to Mike and Alison Thomas of the Old Bakery B&B for organising the event.  They were inspired by their regular guests, John & Lorna, who stay every year for the Holt & Sheringham 40’s weekend. They provided the decorations for the hall and came along and danced all evening.  DJ Major Swing and Kitty were inspiring (and patient) teachers of some of the wartime dances including the St Bernard’s Waltz, the Foxtrot and the Palais Glide.

Everyone dressed up for the occasion and some did so in 1940’s attire.  Judging for the Best Dressed Couple was difficult, with some very well turned out dancers.  The prize went to sailor and landgirl, George and Pearl Kemp.  Tea and cake were well received and the bar did a good trade, too. The event raised £266 for the village hall extension fund and put a smile on many faces.

If you would like to organise a fundraising event for the village hall, please contact one of the committee and we’ll be happy to help out.
