Teams wanted

BILLED as one of the most successful nights at the Village Centre in Chinnor, with tickets selling fast, the pudding night is one not to be missed, that?s if you like your puddings!

The pudding challenge is on Friday, June 14, and the challenge begins at 7.30pm. Can you eat all the puddings provided by the local restaurants? Participating restaurants/chefs so far include the Sir Charles Napier, The Peacock in Henton, The Cherry Tree in Kingston Blount, the Lambert Arms, The Lions at Bledlow and The Crown, at Sydenham.

All the recipes are a big secret and even the organisers don?t know quite what will be provided by each of the restaurants, so its going to be a very exciting and tasting evening of indulgence. And if that wasn?t enough, there’s a starter being provided by the Chinnor Village Centre itself.

So forget those diets, book your tickets, take along your own wine or beer, enjoy a relaxing and enjoyable evening with friends and family, listen to music and spend an evening eating the most wonderful puddings that these restaurants can deliver, in the great, friendly atmosphere that is the Chinnor Village Centre.

Tickets are

THE fabulous and very talented band, Strings Attached, will be the feature act at 10pm on Thursday, June 6, at The First Thursday Music Club in Thame.

The five-piece produces a unique sound based around their piano, guitar and cello instrumentation together with two and three part vocal harmonies. The results are often wonderful arrangements of well known songs ? presented in a completely new and innovative form.

At least another dozen acts will also be on the night?s bill ranging from solo, singer songwriters through to full on rock and roll bands ? and almost every stop in between. And it?s all FREE!

FTMC has become the regular monthly music event in Thame. Round up some friends, get along, and have a great night out. Anyone can play just by signing up at the venue from 7.45pm. The music starts at 8.15pm.

Check out the club on Facebook ?The First Thursday Music Club? or at www.firstthursdaymusicclub.com where you can find more information, including contact numbers and addresses for the organisers.
