What a night yet again! Members arrived and quickly got in to the spirit of the evening by 'eyeing' up the goods and getting their 'secret' bids in to our resident auctioneer Jean Alcock. Whilst Jean and her team of helpers were busy organising the fantastic array of donated items, Sue Dixon got through the business part of the evening. May 'babies' received their birthday cards from Joan Egley who also presented Sheila Kavanagh with beautiful flowers as she celebrated being 80 years young!!

Many thanks also to Caroline Scaife and Jill Bartrop our wonderful hostesses for the evening. We all left warmed up nicely for next weeks outing for Afternoon Tea to the Potting Shed. |
