Thank you everyone. We raised £1040! Fantastic effort. Well done!
We had a wonderful day. All our hopes were surpassed. Thanks to all of you who came and supported the event and contributed so generously to Macmillan.
We started at 10am serving coffee or tea with cakes, scones, and biscuits. There were lots of plants, jams, chutneys, lavender bags and produce. Tomatoes, courgettes, beans and apples were bought enthusiastically. Many people commented on how much they enjoyed drinking from lovely antique china cups. These were generously lent by Ruth Phillips whose business "Emily's Best" hires out boxes of vintage china for events.
After a break at lunch time, we opened again for afternoon tea. More cakes arrived and lots were eaten or bought. Many people attempted to guess the weight of the cake. The nearest guess was 3lb 15 oz by one of our volunteers. It was just over that 3lb 15.5oz.
We could not have run the event without help. Jo and Isobel are so grateful to Jean, Janet, Denise, Howard, Emily, Sue, Tracy, Mima, Emily, Malcolm and William. But also thanks to everyone who brought things to buy, including the Wick Gardening club who gave us all the plants left over from their stall at Wick Fete.
We are now looking forward and planning for our next one. Watch this space!
