CHEDISTON SAFARI SUPPER
The first Safari
Super took place on Friday 29th January at Hill
Farmhouse. 14 people braved the snow to attend and it was all
very convivial and jolly – lots of wine, delicious food and good
company. Everyone moved seats between each course so the
“safari-ing” was easily done and it was deemed a very enjoyable
evening. If you missed out watch this space, or look on the
village web site for the next one. Safari-ing is
FUN.
Thank you very much to Julia for organising this
event.
NEW YEAR'S
EVE PARTY AT HERNE HILL FARM, CHEDISTON
The now traditional Chediston New
Year's Eve party took place once again at Herne Hill Farm, courtesy
of Joanna and Oliver Wareham. It may have been snowing
outside but inside all was fun. Unfortunately your webmaster was
not present and we have received no reports other than attendees
saying that they had a good time. Thanks to Margaret Churchill here
are some photos!

LINSTEAD CHRISTMAS MARKET
LINSTEAD
MARKET was held on a chilly but bright morning and, as has become
customary, we went to St. Mary’s church hall in Halesworth. As can
be seen, (Photos A & B)
there was the usual stunning array of
goodies on offer with an enthusiastic and obliging staff on hand to
assist. (Photos C &
D) We had a steady stream of
clients and, miraculously, made just over £500. As ever, thanks to
the stalwarts who produced (in many cases with their own fair
hands!) the goods to sell and, just as importantly, to all those
who supported us. Thank you all, for making a superb
success

CHEDISTON CHRISTMAS QUIZ
The Chediston Christmas quiz was held on Saturday 5th December and
was very well attended, the Schoolroom being packed out!
Questions came thick and fast and our
knowledge was truly tested. One round asking us to identify
various local village signs showed how unobservant we all are!
We were treated to turkey rolls, mulled wine and a
raffle. Thanks to the organisers, and Judy Fossett for
preparing the questions, for their hard work. Monies raised go
towards the Chediston New Year's eve bash at herne Hill
Farm.
CHEDISTON CHRISTMAS
FAIR
The Chediston Christmas Fair took place on Saturday 28th November.
Stalls occupied
the whole perimeter of the Schoolroom and were packed full of
goodies. Even before
the 2 o'clock start date people were outside awaiting for the door
to open.

The Fair raised a sum of £892 that will go towards Church funds.
Thanks to all who manned the stalls, made cakes, brought produce,
gave bottles, made up gifts etc etc. A very enjoyable event in the
Village calendar.

CHEDISTON FIREWORK BASH
Despite the rain there was a very good turnout to
watch the annual Chediston Bonfire and Fireworks bonanza, held at
Grange Farm on Friday evening November 6th. 2009. Plenty of
refreshments to satisfy all. The fireworks were set off by Terry
Tooze and these were colourful and exciting.
