Whats on at The Beaufort Arms
Huge thanks once again to all at the Tractor run for their magnificent kindness and generosity of a massive £2,100 to Beaufort charity Props.

And talking of resurrecting, our Late Late Harvest Home on 15th November was the most successful ever, with an amazing £1,291.15 raised for Props.Brilliant Auctioneer Chris had the generous audience in the palm of his hands, and bids came in left right and Chelsea, ably assisted by Dave Harris and Louise.
Harris Bear was the star lot and achieved a superb £100 alone - I can't thank donors and bidders enough. Harris had been to Scotland with Liz & Sam and came home complete with a sporran and short-bread biscuits - he'd even been to a Shortbread Factory...
The disappointment was huge when we first had to cancel, so when Smiffy, Han and Nick came up with a plan for a Late Late Harvest Home (and got ace auctioneer Chris on board), we went for it. Despite the lack of vegetables - not necessarily fruit! - it seems like everybody got baking and pickling.
Anniversary couple Josie & Keith (53 years and counting...), Fiona & Dick, Dilly, Nick & Han, Jen & Shaun and a host of others all chipped in to make it the most successful night ever. £200 was raised alone on the raffle, with Chris & Sal selling the tickets, special thanks to Claire for popping home to get us extras.
The bidders completed the evening, egged on by the auctioneer, with everyone being so kind and generous and having a great laugh, I'm sure Props will be delighted with the effort our little community achieved. I can't thank people enough, Props is a great cause and so many rose to the occasion, it was heartwarming.
