Ceilidh
Tremendous fun was had at the High Toynton Ceilidh at Stanhope Hall on the evening of Saturday 5th October which raised £1,000 towards "High Toynton Renewed". Laughter, good fellowship and superb music. Musicians including Tom Lane, Dave Fletcher, Dick Appleton and the internationally acclaimed duo Winter Wilson performed their compositions of high quality Folk Songs, commissioned specially by High Toynton, on the theme of "Collapse and Renewal", celebrating the power of togetherness in this group of villagers to generate renewal rather than collapse when their Church Tower fell down. The musicians have made a CD of their songs which will make a fab gift of local interest. Yours for a suggested donation of £10 + £1.50 postage. CD’s can be ordered from:
hightoynton@gmail.com
Payments can be made by BACS to High Toynton PCC, Account 13121768 and Sort no 30 94 39. Cheques made payable to High Toynton PCC can be sent to Gravelpit Cottages, Church Lane, High Toynton LN9 6NN. Please remember to include the address for where you want the CD sent to.
