Ghouls, Ghosts and Witches abounded in Burnby, on Halloween, especially on the trek through the graveyard
Monster thanks to all those who took part whether by joining the procession or providing the huge quantity of sweets which were consumed. The costumes were magnificent (watch out for the 'rat' who possible was responsible for eating most of the sweets) or perhaps it was the 'Wolf'. Odds on you cannot recognise most of the participants
A great evening was enjoyed by all. Thank you again'
ELVIS VISITS BURNBY!
Resident of Burnby for thirty three years and ex Church Warden Georgina Curry was leaving the village, this was a very sad occasion for Burnby residents, as Georgina had contributed to and organised some amazing events in her time, but how do you find a suitable farewell gift for such an amazing person
Well, the village got its head together, and with the certain knowledge that Georgina was a dedicated Elvis fan, who owned every record and knew all his songs off by heart, it was decided that there was no better gift than an Elvis tribute evening!
So, with amazing subterfuge, the village got together, and starting making arrangements
Georgina, had no knowledge of the event what so ever, until Elvis opened the door of St Giles to greet her
Wow, what an evening followed, truly amazing, virtually the whole of Burnby was rocking in the aisles
It has to be said that, Georgina has (finally) left the building'
