This year’s annual Village Supper will be held at the Village Hall on Saturday 19th November. Further details will appear here in due course.
There are now two events in November, the Supper and the Rising Stars performances on the 25th and 26th, which will conflict with that month’s normal “Last Friday” meal. It seems likely that this will be replaced with a “First Friday” event on December 2nd.

Denton Variety Club has announced details of this year’s Rising Stars production.
An adaption of a version of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” is planned. Rehearsals will start on the first Sunday in October and the performances will be Friday 25th & Saturday 26th November.
The most important priority is to identify all the children who want to take part. Offers of help from adults would also be welcome. A planning meeting is to be held at the Village Hall on Tuesday 23rd August.

It has been confirmed that this month’s Last Friday activities have been brought forward to Friday 19th August.
This is to avoid a clash with the annual Cyder Fest which is taking place one day after the “real” last Friday, on Saturday 27th August.
As usual an excellent evening meal will be available at the Village Hall for just £2.50.

This year’s Denton Boules Championship, held at the Darrow Green Road Boulodrome last night, was as closely contested as in previous years.
Twelve teams, each of three players, entered the competition and competed in groups of three in the first round. Mercifully, the rain disappeared just in time, the barbecue was kept busy, the cyder flowed and a great evening was had by all.
The results were as follows:
Our boules correspondent commented “The high quality of play and competitive nature of many participants led to some hard fought games and quite a late night for the finalists. One can't help thinking, though, that last year’s winners Fitz (Mike, Andrea & Danielle) and up and coming newcomers LDKA (Bob, Avis & Eamon) may have misjudged the effect of the newly bottled 2009 & 2010 vintage blackhand cyder on offer, on their performance in the later rounds”.
