12th January 2012 - Zumba On

Zumba's definitely on tonight, Thursday, from 6.30-7.30.

Due to a mix-up, last week was not the first Zumba class of the year, as reported in the Guardian, but if you’ve got a few pounds to shed after the festivities, pop along to the pavilion this evening.

Just in case you’ve been on a different planet for the past year, Zumba is the exercise craze which has taken fitness centres all over the country by storm. Teacher Queenie Goudie takes you through a series of fun exercises to a Latin beat. It only costs a fiver and you only pay if you go, so why not give it a try!

12th January 2012 - Pennies For Heaven

As this is the time for resolutions, what about making one to give a little money to Hornton's two churches? Did you know that they can pick up lots of lovely lolly from the taxman if you give them a nudge in the right direction?

If you sign a covenant, promising to give so much – however small – per year, you can Gift Aid the money and the taxman puts an extra amount on top equivalent to the basic rate of income tax.

All you have to so is sign a form and get your bank to pay a standing order. Julie Stanley on 01295 670507 has got the forms for the Methodist church and Alan Cater on 01295 670530has got the parish church forms. Simple!

5 January 2012 - Fab 40

There’s already been such a great response to the Burns Night supper in the pavilion a fortnight on Saturday – January 21 – that the organisers can keep taking bookings.

Originally, they asked for anyone interested to book their tickets by tomorrow, Friday, so that they could get some idea of numbers. But 40 people have already signed up so Jan Hall said she can continue selling tickets for a while longer.

But the organisers still need to know if you’re coming, so please on call her on 01295 670891 as soon as possible. Why wouldn’t you, because for just £10 you’ll get a traditional Burns Night experience, complete with haggis, bagpipes and lots of dancing to Scottish reels, plus a traditional Hornton raffle and a cash bar - so give Jan a ring today!

5 January 2012 - Eggstremely Good

What keeps getting better and better and already had a performance pencilled in for Easter? It’s Hornton’s every-popular choir, led by Peter Whitehead, who showcased their work for the first time over the festive season to enthusiastic audiences at the school Christmas bazaar and the Dun Cow.

Pete has an eclectic mix of songs ready for the coming weeks – ranging from I’m a Believer to Bohemian Rhapsody – so why not come along to the pavilion on a Friday from 7-8pm and join in? The one thing you don’t have to be able to do in advance is sing!
