There was an excellent turnout of villagers, friends & family for the fun Call My Bluff Wine Tasting and Quiz Evening held at Croft House on Saturday 31st March.
A wicked wine quiz followed by the Call my Bluff session which included tasting of five wines was noisily well received.
Our extraordinary expert panellists (Catherine Macpherson, Roger Leedham & Nigel Richardson) had everyone in stitches with their well delivered, irreverent descriptions of the wines being tasted.

Introduction
Here we have an In Bloom group that ticks all the boxes. The group has developed long term goals and are continually working hard to achieve the targets set for the benefit of its residents and visitors. The village is very diverse and has an important heritage which is interpreted positively by the group and the community.
Hopton Hall, Croft House and the Chapel Graveyard are important historical features within the village and which sit well in the landscape.
