Toft 2020

Rainfall for January.

January
Generally a mild grey month with a couple of frosty nights.
It was announced that the Oxford to Cambridge Rail route was to be the northern route which means Toft sits in the middle of the route corridor.
A highlight was the splendid Toft Revue- Seaside Special by RicMar.

There was only one Open Mic Night in 2020. Attached is a recording of the evening.

8 of us met in January when we discussed projects we might do for the coming year. We thought we would like to support some in the group who sew for specific charities. The first items we are going to make will be the special cushions plus tote bags for the Cancer Surgery Clinic at Addenbrookes. We also discussed our project for the coming VE weekend.

Sunday saw the opportunity for those taking part in forthcoming Seaside Special to rehearse on the stage, and to get the final props, sound and staging right. This all caused much merriment!

A few Tofties took part in the RSPB Big Garden Bird Watch in January and here's the results.

TSC held its first committee meeting of the year at 7:30 at TPH. The discussions included the Annual Accounts for the forthcoming AGM, election of committee members at the AGM, events for the coming months and some changes to availability of some soft drinks.

A well attended evening at the quiz, and although they were handicapped on their joker round due to their previous win, the winners tonight were Scraping the Barrel.

Tonight's quiz was won by Scraping The Barrel (Peter, Phil and Derek). The Quiz Master was Richard.

The first film of 2020 was "Kursk: The Last Mission" which tells the story of the sinking of the Kursk submarine in the Black Sea in 2000, and the appalling handling of the rescue by the Russian state.

A reasonable sized crowd turned up and all thoroughly enjoyed the well put together film.

The first Food on Friday of 2020 took place tonight. 40 people enjoyed a choice of Cottage Pie or Cottage Vegetable Pie, all for a fiver.

The first of our regular quizzes of 2020 took place tonight - a good turnout. The quiz was won by "Scraping the Barrel" - Derek Wick, Phil Miles and Peter Chase.

The Friendship Club held it's annual Christmas Dinner on 3rd January at Toft People's Hall. 32 members were in attendance and enjoyed a Christmas Dinner prepared and served by Carol, ably assisted by Eve.
