Bougham Bash 2024

A very successful and fun afternoon was held at Bougham last weekend. Although the weather was a little inclement at the start it turned into a very pleasant afternoon. There were juicy, marinated chicken or haloumi kebabs accompanied by delicious salads and sauces. To finish we had wonderful puddings, all of which were enjoyed by a large number of villagers and visitors.

Thank you to Kate Hart who allowed us to invade her house and spectacular garden. We all enjoyed a well-stocked bar, tombola, quiz, games and, a first for the Bougham Bash, taking a sheep for a walk or in some cases the sheep taking the human for a walk!

Thank you to all the helpers, the chefs on the BBQ, those who donated salads, puddings, items for the tombola and to those who came to support us. We could not have achieved such a fun, successful afternoon without you all.

A magnificent total, after expenses, of £1502.83 was raised which will be a huge boost in assisting necessary repairs to the church, and making sure we can continue to offer a warm and welcoming church to our village community.
