CVRA intend to have a Summer event this year based on Alice in Wonderland´s ¨Mad Hatter´s Tea Party¨. More details in the attached flyer.
We plan to have one long table with seating either side. We will provide cups, saucers, cutlery, side plates, tea and coffee. We would ask you to provide cake for sharing and any other snacks you like. You can bring your own beverages but please also bring drinking vessels.
Please bring your own camping/picnic chairs if possible since we may have more people than seats.
Activities in the form of Rabbit racing ( similar to Horse racing ), Croquet and a tug of war – as well as an appropriate ´photo booth´.
Please note that there is only pedestrian access to St Catherine´s.
Jim Stone is very kindly coming to talk to us about his 38-year years as a firefighter. For over 20 years he was a member of the UKSART – who respond to both international disasters and major UK incidents.

The entry fee is £2.00 payable at the door or £5.00 to include a glass of red or white wine. If possible please bring the right amount of cash.

6th June CATHERINGTON CHURCH 19:30 for 20:00 START
On Thursday, June 6 the nation will come together to remember the tens of thousands of allied forces who gave service on D-DAY eighty years ago and helped secure the peace we in the UK enjoy today.
Catherington Residents’ Association will be remembering the 80th anniversary of D-Day with an event in the Church. Blendworth Brass Band will lead the tribute with appropriate music and we are part of the National chain of beacons that are being lit to remember the largest seaborne invasion in history. The incredible operation began the liberation of France and laid the foundations for the Allied victory the following year. Hopefully the church bells will ring out a 1/4 peal from 19:00 to remember this historic event and all those people who didn’t return to enjoy the peace for which they fought and died.
The Beacon will be lit on the top of the Church tower by the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire following The Tribute at 21:15 in line with others.
Please do join us at 19:30 for a 20:00 start in the church to enjoy the music and then outside for the finale, the ‘Lighting of the Beacon’. The church can only hold a limited number of people so if you wish to come along and enjoy the music please email to make sure of a seat. There is to be a collection in aid of The Royal British Legion.
If you wish to come only for the beacon lighting you are welcome to wait outside the Church it will be lit at 21:15. The Churchyard will be unlit and is quite uneven, you may wish to bring a torch.
