Text of the article prepared for the Farnham Herald which appeared in the 22nd January 2009 edition Every year in January the Bourne Show Committee holds a post-Christmas party for up to 80 of the senior residents of the Bourne and surrounding areas. This year's party was held on Saturday 17th January in the main hall at South Farnham School. The party began at 3pm with guests being treated to some splendid entertainment, kicked off with a medley of short dance pieces by members of the Demeric School of Dance (who are based at The Farnham Maltings). Later Lydia Froud, a talented young singer just 13 years old, sang four lovely ballads; and the entertainment was rounded off with 2 new dance pieces performed by A-level students from Alton College (Beth Warnock, Catherine Brown and Emily Fausset). The show committee then served their guests a traditional afternoon tea, and this was followed by a raffle, bingo and finally some community singing (led by Caroline Gale) to round off the afternoon. The party is run by the members of the Bourne Show committee and is funded through the proceeds of the show - there is no charge to guests for whom transport is also be provided. The committee would like to thank the Demeric School of Dance, Lydia Froud and the Alton College students all of whom very kindly gave their time free of charge; we would also like to thank Mr Andrew Carter and his staff at South Farnham School for providing an excellent venue. If you would like to receive an invite to the party, or know of someone who might, please let us know by phone (01252 821253) e-mail (party@thebourneshow.com) or through the 'Contact' page on the show's web site (www.thebourneshow.com). This year's Bourne Show will take place on 18th July 2009 on the Bourne Green.
