IT was Party Night at the Aveley Village Hall when the Aveley W.I. celebrated the Festive Season with a Fish/ Chicken and chip supper.

President Mrs. Doreen Kelly opened the proceedings with a Christmas greeting followed by any necessary business. Special mention was made of Mrs Bessie Aley who is at the present time very poorly and in Basildon Hospital, She is always in our thoughts and prayers.

Mrs Pam Lock arrived with our supper which she had very kindly collected from a local Chippy.

Mr George Webb entertained on his electric keyboard and arranged a Musical Quiz - half way through this the Egg man arrived so there was a general exodus for egg collection - after which the quiz resumed. We had a pass the parcel which caused much hilarity and a raffle with many prizes.

A good time was had by all and we wound our way home at 10.15pm Thank you to Doreen and her helpers.
