The Garden Party

Our annual set piece event -The Garden Party took place in John Deacon and Lorna Ainsworth's beautiful garden on 14 June. We were lucky enough to have booked La Tuna from the Faculty of Law at Valencia University, who entertained us with typical Valencian and Spanish music. They were a great success, and the photos on our web page shows their colourful traditional dress.

Our ladies catered for some 80 people, and we would like to thank Ann Weskitt, Veronica Vokes and Jenny Decker for their tremendous amount of hard work. We would also like thank all those who donated dishes, prizes for the raffle, and for the help rendered over the days before and after the Party.

We are planning a "get together event" in late September for the start of our new season, and we are also planning a John Deacon music night for late October. We will publish details of these events when they are finalised.

Finally we would like thank our members for their continued support, and, now that our membership stands at 77 , we would like to break the century by the end of the year. So if you can introduce a friend please contact me and we will take it from there.
