Made with Xara this is June 18th 2008 It is a long time since there was an opportunity to enjoy a proper barn dance in a proper barn in Blisworth, but now there will be one.  On Saturday July 5 a real Barn Dance band with a caller to guide the dancers will be on hand to encourage and entertain everyone at the Royal Oak Barn. Food will be available in the pub, and tickets for this event are only £5, a bargain for a night of fun and dance. ... and from April 1st 2009 Over sixty people helped to celebrate the fifty years from the founding of Blisworth’s Allotment Association at the Annual General Meeting on Monday March 30.  A special cake had been made, covered in marzipan vegetables and fruit, iced cake cauliflowers, onions, leeks and beetroot.  The ‘seed packet’ on the top was even made of icing too. After the main business of the evening a brief outline of how and why the Association was formed was given before the cake was ceremoniously cut by a founder member, Albert Cadd and Mrs Doreen Sear, whose father had been an allotment holder for many years before the association was formed.  There are only two allotment meetings a year and both are very well supported. The next will be on Monday October 26, [2009] and again members, family and friends will be most welcome. Down Your Way ARCHIVE
