Still reeling from another great ceilidh


A big thank you to everyone who turned out for the 2019 TARA Hallowe’en ceilidh on Saturday 26 October at the Wheatsheaf Hall. Much jigging, some wonderful costumes and a great deal of hilarity. People travelled from as far afield as Acton, Barnes and goodness knows where else. Many thanks to Tommy Candler for these great pictures:

Thank you to…

… the many people who made it all possible:

  • Set-up, kitchen and door: Bhavani, Celia, Dolina, Ed, Indiana, Helen H, Hocine, Judy, Mike, Vikram
  • Door drops: Celia, Harriet, Mark, Phinella
  • Printing: John T
  • Raffle: John C marshalled a high-performing team who leaned nicely on local businesses to donate prizes (see below): Helen H, Dolina, Hocine, Matt, Bhavani; Niamh called the numbers with great aplomb
  • The band were amazing. Our thanks to Chris (caller/guitar), Jo on fiddle and Philip on accordion
Apologies to the people I’ve accidentally left off the list.

Also thank you to these great local businesses  who donated raffle prizes

Please support them and be sure to mention their generosity when you next visit them.
