Progressive dinner – Thank you!

An enormous thank you to everyone who helped to make Horley’s Progressive Dinner such a success.

£1485.50 was raised for the church which is hugely appreciated and the camaraderie and community spirit the evening engenders cannot be underestimated.

Our hosts all surpassed themselves, we know how much planning and hard work it takes and as always, we simply couldn’t have done it without you.

Thank you so much to Dave and Natasha for allowing us to descend ‘en masse‘ and then disappear into the night only to return slightly less coherently later in the night.

We will be deciding on next year’s date quite shortly and will let you know as soon as it’s confirmed. We have already had offers to host next year which is great.

With many, many thanks to everyone for such a wonderful evening from all the Progressive Dinner team.
