WINTER WARMER
The Watchfield Hall committee held a very successful "Winter Warmer" on Friday March the first.
Attended by over forty villagers and friends enjoying a menu which included Cottage Pie, Mexican Chili, Hungarian Goulash, Chicken Casserole and Beef Stew, followed by a local Cheese Board.
A raffle of wine and chocolates, all of of which were kindly donated, was well supported, and after the meal a photographic competition took place. Twenty photographs of things and places, all within an eight mile radius of Watchfield, but taken from an unusual angle had people guessing, with some surprising results when the full picture was revealed at the end of the evening..
Four hundred pounds was raised by the end of the evening, which went towards hall funds,and people left at the end of the evening replete and happy.

Wassailing 2020
An enthusiastic crowd joined the Bennett family for their traditional Wassailing, in memory of Viv Bennett. Cider soaked toast was put in two trees by the Wassailing Queen (with a little help), blank shots were fired (after a warning) and the Wassailing song was sung. Then back to the Cider House for a delicious meal and excellent entertainment. See gallery for photos.
