GARDEN PARTY
A great success! Those of you who unfortunately couldn't make it missed a treat.
The weather was kind, the garden was looking spectacular, and the atmosphere was very lively and upbeat. So thanks to Mike for being such a generous and enthusiastic host, he certainly kept us on our toes with the organisation.
Thanks also to the members of the Abbeydale Rotary club for their generous support with advance publicity, practicalities and administration. Thank you to Mike's family and friends who helped on the day and to Nicola for her supreme efficiency in the kitchen. I've never seen anyone produce so many glasses of pimms so fast, with tea and coffee on the boil at the same time.
Also thanks to everyone who contributed to the refreshments, I heard lots of appreciative compliments about the cakes. Finally, thank you to everyone who attended and made the afternoon such a convivial gathering, it was a really feel-good event.
We made a profit of just over £500, a fantastic result.
