The Angels Have It!
Posted
It was a close run thing at the Village Hall this evening but the winners of the annual Village Quiz were "Evie's Angels" aka the "Hanner Horde".
With nine teams taking part, they won the much prized "Brain of Denton" trophy with "Taken for Granted" second and "The Magnificent Seven" third. The even more coveted "Plastic Fish" award, for last place, was won by the "Darrow Green Demons".
Quizmistress Denise Grant, ably assisted by her glamorous assistant, Momma King, produced a fascinating range of questions which challenged everybody. The break for food, Denton Chilli á la mode etc., was much enjoyed by all, as indeed was the whole evening.
Thanks must go to everybody who contributed to yet another great village event.

And another in May! The Art Group will be holding an Exhibition of their work in the Village Hall on Saturday May 24th.

Precept Frozen
Posted
There was good news for Denton's Council Tax-payers at Monday's meeting of the Parish Council.
Council members considered their draft budget for the coming financial year starting in April. After some discussion of future financial requirements it was agreed to keep the precept, the amount DPC asks South Norfolk Council to collect from residents on behalf of the PC, at the same figure as last year - £3,000.
The exact impact on the amount paid by each property for use by the council is not yet known but any increase or decrease is likely to be very small.

A Very Special Friday
Posted
All last-fridays-in-the-month are special in Denton but this January's will be very special.
As usual an evening meal will be provided at the Village at a modest charge but it is the Burns Night season so, courtesy of the Henderson family, haggis will be served.
In order for Sarah Henderson to know how many people to cater for and thus for Allan Henderson to know just how many haggi to shoot, those attending are asked to book their places in advance.
Further details on the Last Fridays page.
