The Strawberry Tea
Thanks
to everyone who made the Strawberry Tea Party on July 1st
2008 a memorable one.
Penny
and Graham Martin for letting us use their beautiful garden .
Margaret Palmer for devising the Fifty bird quiz!! which Graham very
artistically displayed around his garden .So that members and guests
could walk around in comfort to write their answers.Carol Holt won
that well done Carol.
Tim
Goward, David Labdon John Fitch who donning light reflecting
waistcoats saw members safely parked and across the very busy road to,
The Willows.
John
Fitch who at an unearthly hour collected the Strawberries - which were
delicious and not a bad one amongst them.
Jo
Fitch, Vera Goward,Jenny Waterhouse and myself - de-hulling, slicing
and distributing even amounts in bowls - making cups of tea and
coffee.
Jenny
Waterhouse selling raffle tickets.
Because of my habit of waving my arms about .I did not conquer the
P.A.system.I kept seeing puzzled faces, hand to ears mouthing ,"What
did she say". "Can't hear ".
So I
left the important calling of Quiz answers and Raffle ticket winners
to Graham.
Only
one blot. Patti ,our Chairman was not present. She was recovering from
her operation. We all wished her well.
Lastly
the sun shone. What a contrast to last years downpour.
Lets
hope next year is just as sunny, in the garden of Jo and John Fitch.
They
voluntarily volunteered.
Looking
forward to that.
