5 March 2022 - Yesterday's Coffee Morning
Hello everyone,
Well that was quite a Coffee Morning, that was. A bumper turnout. There was an abundance of coffee (or tea if you are a traditionalist), chat and delicious home-made cake for whatever you felt disposed to donate. Many others dropped in briefly to contribute. Yvonne had made some lovely hearts in the Ukrainian colours which were available for a contribution to the funds. The ladies – for it was all ladies – in the kitchen were kept busier than usual and worked very hard. They even braved operating the microwave to ensure a supply of warm milk for the coffee and did so with great panache. It has to be said that there was an over-riding feeling of concern and sympathy for the plight of the Ukrainian people, and the wish to help was evident by the amount raised. This totalled the amazing sum of £800, to which the Government will add a similar sum. Thanks are due to the organisers of the event, to those who worked so hard to ensure it was a success – setting up, in the kitchen, baking cakes etc - and last but not least everyone who turned up to contribute, some making quite an effort to be there. Well done indeed.
Best regards
Chris
