Afternoon Tea Party
On Friday afternoon, around 35 members and guests got together for a tea party organised by Karen and Maureen with support from Helen, Sooki, Ken and Peter.
The clubhouse was well decorated by the team with assistance from Mel, Brian, Neil and Paul who rolled back the short-mat mat and set out the tables.
The members sat down to sandwiches and tea followed by cheese scones, plain scones and fruit scones with cream and jam. There was a healthy debate as to whether it should be jam first or cream first. It was left to personal preference. After scones there were cakes arranged on cake stands.
The afternoon was finished with a raffle run by Ken and Peter and finally a game of Heads or Tails that was won by Den Newham.
Thanks go to the members who helped clear up and wash-up the dishes.
A good afternoon was had by all.

Sadly, last year the Harry Wright Competition was not well supported and so changes have been made to make it more viable.
The duration of the competition has been cut down from running throughout the season to 10 weeks and will start on Monday 26th May, following the Open Day event. The Competitor with the Best 6 Scores will Win and there is no negative scoring.
