TICKETS FOR CHRISTMAS ANNUAL DINNER DANCE

Saturday, 1st December 2007

Last year there was some confusion over the purchasing of tickets.

Paid-up members of the Hurst Village Society have priority over other Hurst residents, with a limit of six tickets per person. Only the person or family buying the tickets needs to be a member, e.g. in a party of six, it could be two members and four non-members. Purchases are on a "first come first served" basis, with any tickets unsold available to non-HVS members.

Please remember that HVS Membership runs from 1st January to 31st December in any calendar year. Annual membership costs £5 per family.
