BEER HACKETT
Friends of St. Michael’s Church A splendid ‘Get Together’ The sun shone on Saturday 11 September for Beer Hackett’s long awaited summer ‘Village Get Together’ which was held in and around St. Michael’s Church. The event, which had been previously delayed by Covid restrictions, was staged by the ‘Friends of St. Michael’s Church’ as both a fundraiser and an opportunity to bring the village community together after so long. The ‘Get Together’ lived up to its name, with a buoyant attendance by villagers, friends and visitors who were able to mingle and chat. 6

Following a minute’s silence for all those who perished in New York on 9/11, there was much to see and enjoy: live entertainment was compered by Bonny Sartin, the celebrated local musician and poet, who amusingly introduced sets from the always popular Wriggle Valley Jazz Band, and singer Kathy Smyth who, together with pianist Jean Rudd, rendered a selection of Cole Porter and other classics.
