The St George’s Night Dinner, held in the Village Hall on Saturday 23rd April, was a great success with 50 people enjoying a superb and extremely delicious dinner of Greenfield sausages, mash and peas followed by Monxton Apple & Blackberry Crumble with cream – all beautifully home-made by the wonderful organisers. All washed down with excellent Berry Bros wines and quality ales.
We had a challenging and thought-provoking quiz on all things England, Shakespeare and St George, which caused much chatter and debate throughout the evening.
There has been some lovely feedback saying how delicious the food was and what a good, fun night it was – and everyone’s expectations were exceeded.
The total profit from the evening was £465.60, which was split equally between the Walk The Walk breast cancer charity and the Renovation Fund for Monxton & Amport Village Hall (£232.80 for each charity).
The plan is to hold a similar event next year, so put Saturday 22nd April 2017 in your diaries for a bigger and better event!

From Michael Pasque, landlord at the Black Swan:
Rosy and I are sad that we must announce that our time at The Black Swan is ending. We have enjoyed our time here very much, and hope you all have too.
We aren’t going far though, and will be opening at The Plough in Grateley on Thursday 14th April.
We’d love for everybody to come down to say good bye on Saturday 9th April.
For one night only!……

STEVE JOBS (15)
Covering the years 1984-1989 and encapsulating 3 product launches culminating in the iMac, this revealing film explores the trials and triumphs of Steve Jobs, a modern day genius and late CEO of Apple Inc.
His passion and ingenuity have been the driving force behind the digital age but ultimately his family life and maybe his health were affected.
Directed by Danny Boyle and starring Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet and Seth Rogan.

THE LADY IN THE VAN (12A)
A wonderful film in which, in a nutshell, a man forms an unexpected friendship with an eccentric, itinerant woman who is living in a car and moving from one parking space to another in Gloucester Crescent, Camden. Eventually, he invites her to park temporarily on his drive way and she stays for 15 years!
Maggie Smith delivers a truly outstanding performance well supported by stars such as Jim Broadbent, Gwen Taylor, Frances de la Tour, Dominic Cooper and James Corden to name but a few. A very ‘British’ movie written by Alan Bennett both funny and touching and ‘mostly true’. A film not to be missed!
