Horley Correspondent Report
See the Horley Correspondent to get a preview of our village news report coming up in this weeks Banbury Guardian ………… it’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas
Another Fab Christmas Market
Its beginning to feel a lot like Christmas………. thanks to Horley’s Ladies Guild and all their “little helpers” for making our Church so special and once again bringing us a fabulous market.
We were accompanied by Horley’s own “Wandering Minstrels” who found themselves a nice corner to entertain the crowds as there was no room to play and wander. At one point it was so full that someone commented its like “Black Saturday around here”.
We had a very special visit from Father Christmas and his “Elf and safety officer” who also had help from a little Elf in rearranging the grotto. Well that’s Elves for you they should be called Pixies! What that poor Father Christmas has to put up with, still at least the children have been good and went away with a presents.
The count down begins……………..
Clubmark Status for Horley Cricket Club
Horley Cricket Club has been awarded Clubmark status after two years of tireless work especially by David Beck (Chairman) and Claire Bottoms (Secretary) Horley Cricket Club has achieved Clubmark status. Clubmark is an ECB and Sport England mark of a high quality cricket club for juniors and adults and the Community. A stamp of approval that all clubs aspire to achieve, it represents high quality, safety, fair and focussed support for all.
