CURRENT EVENTS

The Lophams’ Society

“Meet and Greet”

On May 20th The Lophams’ Society committee hosted a very enjoyable “Meet and Greet” evening at The White Horse in South Lopham.

All new residents of North and South Lopham were invited to a social get-together to meet up with other new residents and to find out what goes on in the Lophams.

The atmosphere was relaxed and informal allowing plenty of time to chat and during the evening we were joined by representatives from other local groups including The Lophams’ Ladies and The Village Hall committee. It was also an opportunity to introduce new residents to The Lophams’ Society and hopefully encourage them to come along to future events where they can now meet up with some familiar faces.

Many thanks to all at The White Horse who helped to make the evening a success and for providing a tasty buffet which was enjoyed by all.

SUMMER BARBEQUE

A fine summer evening on the 6th July provided the perfect backdrop to this year’s summer BBQ which had all the elements for an enjoyable village get-together. Bill Bedford and Mark Miller manned the BBQ and were ably assisted by a crack team of choppers, slicers and servers.

The bar team were kept busy keeping thirsty villagers’ vocal chords lubricated enabling them to join in with a mixture of music supplied throughout the evening by two local bands, Captain Kirk’s Mandolins and Burning Indifference.

For those with a little more energy Jim Pursehouse organised an impromptu rounders match (extra practice for the village games maybe). Despite the fact that several of the committee were unable to attend due to holiday commitments, sterling work on behalf of the other members and helpers both old and new, ensured that the evening went ahead as usual.  

At the end it was agreed that it had been a thoroughly enjoyable evening and thanks were due to all of those who gave their time and energy to make the evening happen and to all those villagers who turned up to support it.

BONFIRE AND FIREWORKS

On November 2nd the annual Bonfire and Fireworks brightened up the night sky.  Although last minute changes were needed to cope with the high winds, the evening was very well attended and the we had another memorable firework display.  There was hot food, including burgers and hotdogs.  Thanks to everyone who helped to make this a another great family occasion

CHRISTMAS DROP-IN

The village hall was once again transformed with decorations, fairy lights and a Christmas tree for the Lophams’ Society’s Christmas Drop-in on the 13th December.  

This annual event gives all those living in the Lophams’ the chance to have a pre-Christmas get-together and catch up with friends and neighbours, prior to the big day.  A free buffet, mulled wine, live music, a visit from Father Christmas and a performance of Christmas songs from the children of St Andrew’s School, under the direction of Jennie Vere, all helped to provide a festive atmosphere.

Thanks to all those who attended and to all those members of the committee who worked really hard to ensure that everyone had a good time.
