What an amazing and full December it was in the village.  I just hope I have managed to include it all but first back to Nov. 25th and the evening of the Rolling Supper.  Fantastic night of good food, great company and lots of fun as we all changed venues for each course, finally meeting up … Read more

Well, I wonder who spotted the deliberate mistake?  A lone sway!  Which should have been ‘swan’ how funny.  October came to a close with the United Benefice choir being invited to Deane, for All Saints Service on Sunday 29th.   Lovely. November 5th All Souls service took place in St Nicholas’ church, here in Steventon at … Read more

Great to be back into the swing of things starting with Tuesday 2nd and singing in the village hall.  Voices could be heard also on the 12th as we all joyously sang those we knew, plus a few we did not.  This always keeps us on our toes adding to the enjoyment, also, I believe … Read more

What a knock-out “Steventon Entertains…Again” was over the two nights of 24th & 25th February.  Considering everyone were doing their ‘own thing’ it was a surprise to us all to witness all the talent this had produced.  Both nights were a sell out, however, a few were unable to attend due to illness.  Steventon Singers … Read more

Rather a miserable looking morning out there, just the sort of day to be indoors!  Back to Friday 13th January and book group.  Many thanks Marilyn for hosting and delicious coffee and of course, cake! A great catch up time, also an interesting morning as each gave a short synopses of the book of their … Read more
