As we have already mentioned, Hockley have arranged a kickboxing champion to help turn on their Christmas Lights
Maybe Rochford Parish Council and Rochford Chamber of Trade have gone one better – they have arranged an Abba tribute band….
This is the info from the Chamber of Trade Website:
“Rochford Christmas Spectacular 2007
Rochford Square, Saturday 1st December, Noon – 7pm
Entertainment on stage, Father Christmas and exhibitors
25 Craft exhibitors including hand made cards, floral decorations, wood carving, and Art and crafts accessories.
Entertainment from a number of the local schools within the Rochford catchment area.
Father Christmas will be in his Grotto from Approx 10am to 4.30pm.
Puppet shows, balloon making, face painting, Morris dancing and much much more.
On stage there will be non stop entertainment from noon through to approximately 6.30pm.
The day will end with two bands performing. The first taking you back to those 70?s and 80?s school day featuring ?Skool Reunion?.
Climaxing at approximately 5.30 with ?ABBA REUNION? which we feel needs no introduction.”
Good to see that we have plenty of community spirited people in our district to put in all the hard work that goes into organising these events.
The lights in Hullbridge will be switched on Saturday 1st December outside the school with refreshments in the youth centre afterwards.
Christmas Bazaar in the Hullbridge community centre is on the same day between 2-4pm. It is worked so that people can attend the bazaar then go on to the switching on of the lights which usually occurs around 4.00pm.
