SABDEN:
Bonfire Following a damp start, the bonfire and fireworks display last Saturday night pro vided an excellent evening's entertain ment for the hun dreds who attended.

I t was organised by the Holme Commit tee, which wishes to ■thank everyone who gave donations towards the £1,200 cost of the event - a grand total of £340 being collected.

Prayers to remember those from Sabden who lost their lives in past conflicts, will be said at all the village churches this week end. There will be a special Remem brance ceremony at the 9-30 a.m. service in St Nicholas’s Church on Sunday.
At the Baptist Church, the preacher will be Ernest Gorton at 10 a.m. and at the Methodist Church at 9-30 a.m. preacher will be Helen Bradley.
Floodlights
On a disappointing note, the committee tries to keep the bon fire simple by burn ing only pallets, which contains the fire, keeps damage to the field to a mini mum, and makes clearing up easier the next morning. On Sunday morning, however, they found lots of metal debris from chairs and other items which had obviously gone on to the fire late at night. This created extra heat in the fire and additional clearing up. They are politely asking people not to do this in future.
Christmas quiz The Play Park Trust has organised a Christmas Quiz on Tuesday, December 7th, at the White Hart. Questions ivill be based on a Christmas theme and there will be a raffle. Teams will be of no more than four and each team will be asked to pay £5 to enter. There will be prizes for the first three teams.
