CRASH MATS BROUGHT OUT

 

 ...for anniversary 'buffet assault' gig at Pitney Village Hall...

Crash mats are being nailed to the floor at Pitney Village Hall today in preparation for the dance there tomorrow night. 

There's live music with Chris Jagger's Kronies and special guests Johnny Butten and Kit Morgan.


 It was at this event, one year ago, when two local men - pictured - caused chaos when they danced into a village elder, catapulting her into the trestle tables supporting the buffet.

Vivien Winterburn, who chairs the village hall committe, spent 7 hours embedded in a bowl of coleslaw before being removed by Somerton Fire Brigade.

"I've never had so much fun" she later told reporters.

Her attackers went on the run for 3 months before being apprehended in a tent at Thorney Lakes where they were found 'fishing for cod'

Footage (below) of what quickly became known as 'Buffetgate' soon went viral on You Tube:


Miss Winterburn has since made a career out of her ordeal, landing several major book deals.

'101 Ways to Pick Sliced Carrot and Onion Out of your Armpits' has already sold 3 million copies and her film 'One Flew Over The Chicken Drumsticks' is out in the autumn.

Tomorrow night's anniversary gig kicks off at 7.30pm, tickets are available from the Halfway House, The Coleslaw Appreciation Society or on the door if still available.
