Abinger Activities through the Year

As well as the [AbingerFair|Abinger Fair] there are a number of regular events, which have the dual function of being great fun and raising money for local charities. See the [events|Village Diary] for forthcoming events. 

The '''Abinger Tennis Tournament''' takes place on an idyllic summer's day, when people fortunate enough to have a tennis court invite a motley crowd of friends who know one end of a tennis racket from another to play some friendly tennis and enjoy lunch in the garden. Finals (accompanied by afternoon tea) always take place at Oliver and Nicola Ellingham's. Organiser: Oliver Ellingham (tel: 01306 730636). 

The '''Progressive Supper''' is usually a winter event. The aim is that everyone in the village should participate, as you don't even need to hold a tennis racket for this one. You have a starter at one house, move to another for main course and end up at a third venue for dessert. If you want to demonstrate your culinary skills there is plenty of opportunity to do so as well. Organisers: Rachel Morgan (tel: 01306 731506) leads the team of organisers. 

'''Themed evenings at the Evelyn Hall''' take place regularly. In the past year or so there have been sausage and mash suppers, sing-along Sound of Music, Grease and Mama Mia, a Bollywood evening, wine-tasting, Chinese New Year evening, quizzes, Christmas soirees and many more. There are also plans to possibly start a film club. Most of these events are organised by the Evelyn Hall Committee. Contact: Terry and Pat O'Brien (tel: 01306 730818)
