See In The Year Of The Pig At Your Local Mandarin Restaurant

a resident of Beckworth — Sat, 23 Feb 2019 20:40:22 +0000

Please friends and neighbours, come and see in the year of the pig tonight, or tomorrow, at The Bamboo Caravan. New year was Monday or Tuesday last week but we’re a little behind as all the staff have been off with food poisoning. Now we’re almost recovered and probably not contagious so reopening this evening… Anyway, to celebrate new year every dish on the menu, including the vegetarian options, will be made from pig and pork on top of which The Gay Hussar pub next door will be supplying us with some bacon based cocktails. Also, we’ve once again roped in Geri Halliwell and the Chinese State Mime School to do a rough approximation of dragon procession through the restaurant and the public toilets next door…. And get this, customers spending over £35 (per head) will get a free sparkler to wave around at midnight. Alan Ip. Manager. Bamboo Caravan.

Chinese Mime Goes Up In Smoke

a resident of Beckworth — Fri, 07 Mar 2014 17:22:16 +0000

Hello all. I am honoured to announce that Beckworth council is hosting a world premier next week when the Chinese State Mime School will be performing their new show, Up In Smoke, on a trailer in the town hall car park (next to the bottle bank). Geri Halliwell, herself a black belt in mime, has brought them to the UK at her own expense and has seen a rehearsal hastily recorded on a mobile phone. She told me it was a very poor quality recording but she could just make out that it was a cautionary tale warning of the perils of pipe smoking in hot air balloons. Given the school’s reputation in mime circles it will probably be first class. Tickets are £10 each and there will be performances daily all next week at 11am, 2pm and 6pm. Sorry, but due to some adult content it is over 18s only. Yours Gary Grimsby. Mayor. Beckworth Town Council
