Back again after the problems of Covid, this year's Quiz Night supporting Christian Aid was a great success.
The eventual winners were "The Afterthoughts" (rather like this article?) comprising - Chris, Helen, Ken, Kim, Phil, Roger, and Rosemary. As usual, an excellent meal was provided. Over £400 was raised for the Charity.

Denton Variety Club is back in business, at last.
Ever since the start of the COVID Emergency, the DVC, like many other village groups, has found its activities severely restricted. They managed, just in time, to put on "Jack and the Beanstalk" in February 2020, but since then their only dramatic contribution has been a short revue produced as part of the Queen's Jubilee celebrations.
However, the good news is that preparations are under way for a new pantomime next February. The name has yet to be decided but the first read-through has been booked for November 30th at DVH.
It is hoped that all the usual suspects will be taking part, but new blood is always welcome.
How about you?

18 tractors took part and £200 was raised for the Eastern Air Ambulance.

In the past, several Denton residents have achieved fame for their literary talents (Mandolins did you say?), and we are delighted to announce the arrival of another.
Sandra Gordon, of Darrow Green Road, has just published a children's book - "Teddy – Bishopstone Station’s Bear", based on the true story of a missing bear and his boy. It’s all about a teddy bear who has been locked away in a parcel office at a railway station for a number of years and who dreams of being reunited with his owner. All profits from the book are to be donated to Cancer Research and the Friends of Bishopstone Station.
