Barn Dance – Last Call!
It’s a nice sunny evening (but not as hot as last year!), so if you are free, why not head down to Christ the King for our second Barn Dance? It starts at 7.30 pm and tickets are available on the door at £5 for over 12s and £3 for under 12s. We are happy to negotiate rates for families. There will be a bar, raffle and a prize for the best outfit. Caller Mick Wooldridge has very kindly given his services free, supported by our hardworking Social Committee. The Parish of Christ the King and the FSSP will benefit equally from the proceeds.
See you there!
