Horley Ladies Guild Quiz a Resounding Success

Thanks to all those who helped make the Horley quiz held on Friday 3rd February such a success. We had a great turnout – in fact, we would not have been able to fit many more into the Old School!

Teams puzzled over crops grown around Horley; beers served in the Red Lion, road sign locations and kitchen cupboard ingredients amongst other things.

Huge thanks to everyone who helped on the night.

The quiz raised £600 to be split between two worthy charities: The Katherine House Hospice and the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution.

‘Knit and Stitch’ restarts on Thursday 8th Feb

Knit and stitch restarts on Thursday 8th February in the Old School, starting at 7pm.

If you can’t make the 8th we will meet again on the 22nd Feb. We meet on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month. We also have a cuppa and a chat if you would like to come just for that.
