BAND: What's in a name? A mere slip of the... You might well ask when you hear the band that will be providing the jitter and jive for the Whitewater School PTA supper dance night on Saturday!

The Slippery Tongues will be holding court in Heckfield Memorial Hall from 7.30pm, providing their own special brand of boogie to suit all ages and talents!

Dance away the wintertime blues for £10, including a buffet supper.

We are promised first class food and drink, a licensed bar and fantastic raffle prizes, all in aid of our village school.

Tickets and further details are available from the school office on 762637 or PTA chairwoman Andrea Marnoch on 762112.

BIRTHDAY: Days of wine and roses are on the way for Carolyn Gauntlet as she enters her fifth decade!

Family and friends from all around gathered in the village hall last weekend to wish her the happiest of birthdays.

As she and Robert Burns share a birthday month there was plenty of Scottish reeling to satisfy even the keenest dancer.

Many happy returns and many more!
