A Wonderful Weekend

The recent weekend proved yet again that we are all so lucky to live in such a wonderful community.

As previously reported, the Village Fete on Saturday provided a great opportunity for people of all ages to relax and enjoy themselves while raising funds for the Church in Denton.

This was followed on Sunday by a superb celebration of the Centenary of the building that plays such an important part of our lives, the Village Hall. The lunch provided was excellent and, of course, supplies from the bar went down very well (even if beer is now £2.50 a pint and a bottle of wine £7.50!).

One highlight, after lunch, was the cutting of a Celebration Cake by Hilda Thomas. This was followed by a Speech covering the Hall’s development over the 100 years, by the Chairman of the Hall Management Committee, Terry Hanner. For longer-term residents the mention of important events, like the first Village Supper, brought back so many happy memories. It was great to see several former Dentonians return and join in the fun.

Finally, later in the day there was a good turn-out at the Hall to watch the final of the Euro football competition. OK, England lost to Spain, but it was yet another opportunity for residents to come together.

As several people have commented, a wonderful Denton weekend with wonderful people. Many thanks to the long list of residents who contributed so much and made it all possible.
