This November, as the days get shorter and colder and the nights draw in and autumn really feels upon us, the Bridge Christian Community invites you to join with us for a social evening of wine tasting with light refreshments and food. The event is an ideal opportunity to get together with friends, family and neighbours in a relaxed, informal and hospitable environment while trying different wines with cheese and bread nibbles to soak up the flavours. The evening will be a social event in order to bring people together and to raise funds for the Bridge Community as a registered charity.

The Winetasting takes place on Saturday November 13th 2010 at Hastings High School starting at  7.30pm.  Tickets cost £12 per person and include the cost of drinks and nibbles. Various bottles of wines from the tasting will be available to purchase on the evening.

For those who don’t drink a great deal of wine a selection of other beverages including beer and non-alchoholic drinks will also be available for refreshment.
