FANCY DRESS THEME ANNOUNCED
The Roaring Twenties has been chosen as the theme of this year’s fancy dress evening. It’s a hundred years since the days of the Charleston, the flapper and Art Deco. None of us will have memories of that glorious decade, but we’ve all seen films and music from that era. Dress up for an evening of fun!
