The CO and Mrs Co were honoured by the presence of over 25 firemen and their ladies.  Many candle lit nights of preparation had turned the village hall in to an atmospheric baronial hall.

Kevin the Official Jester of Northamptonshire guided the merry throng from medicinal mulled wine to a sumptuous three course banquet during which the guests contributed words

of wit and wisdom.   The evening was rounded off by an excellent Mummers play.

Especial thanks to Mrs CO and her team of servers on the evening and those that kindly came and helped before and after.  Additional thanks to Boughton Estates for supplying venison at short notice and to Fireman Harker T. for his kind donation.
