OCTOBER EVENTS IN BETHLEHEM
So where did September go! Suddenly, October is upon us and it feels (according to the evidence in the shops) that we are racing headlong into Christmas. But happily the weather is being fairly kind at the moment so hopefully we can enjoy an Autumnal month during October.
The Starry Stitchers Quilters will be meeting at the hall on Monday the 12th, with the monthly community quiz happening that evening at 7.30pm. A reminder nearer the time, but we hope it will be as successful as the September quiz which saw a full hall, where everyone enjoyed a fun evening, a good quiz, and a few laughs along the way. Sue and Graham will be asking the questions this time, so we very much you will come along to support, it's always a good evening, and with proceeds, along with bar sales, going towards hall funds, it's a painless but fun way to keep the little hall going!
And after the summer break, our Bethlehem Old School suppers are back! Starting in October, and happening monthly until April, the suppers have, over the years, become not only a vital part of our ongoing fundraising for the hall, but are also, just as importantly, a way of bringing people together who might not otherwise get the opportunity to meet, and get to know each other.
We have stuck to the "Old School" principle of a hearty, home cooked two course supper, with everyone sitting at one long table. Nothing pretentious or Mastercheffy, just tasty food, good company, and interesting conversations, along with a well stocked bar to help things along!
So our first supper of the season will be taking place on Friday 23rd, with food served at 7.30pm, Bar Bethlehem open from 7pm. We have kept to last season's price of £18 per person, and we will endeavour to stick to that for as long as possible.
This month's menu is a loose interpretation of a few Spanish and Mediterranean dishes, with a Chicken and Chorizo casserole, and a Borlotti bean, vegetable and paprika stew as main course choices, both served with Hasselback potatoes, vegetables and crusty bread, and the popular Mediterranean Orange Cake as a pudding choice, along with Lemon Posset with berries. Finishing off with coffee or tea and chocolate truffles, we guarantee you won't go home hungry!
If you'd like to come along, just get in touch to reserve your place, We can only cater for a limited number, and as always, cash is king in Bethlehem so payment on the night is cash only please.
Many of you have already expressed an interest in wishing to volunteer at some of our pre-Christmas events, which is wonderful. We heard this morning that the Donkey Walk which is now an annual event organised by St. Teilo's Church in Llandeilo, has had to reschedule, so they will now be walking to Bethlehem on Saturday November 28th, rather than in December as originally planned. Hopefully, if you'd offered to help initially, you will still be able to do so on November 28th. Again, lots more information nearer the time, along with all the other November and December news.
Diolch yn fawr,
