Summer Tea

It was a perfect summer’s day for our annual Summer Tea which was hosted this year by Dr and Mrs Lynn Dale. Mansfield and Districts SI own Social and Hospitality team prepared and provided the delicious tea with home made bakes and favourites.  Over 60 people supported the day and spent generously at our homemade cake stall which is always very popular. A new fundraiser this year was provided by Phoenix Cards representative Margaret Dean. Every year our gardening friend Colin Etches provides a colourful plant stall and this years was exceptional and also in memory of a dearly loved member, Nancy Beecroft, who passed away earlier this year. Pam sold over 20 jigsaws and once again we had a generous raffle, prizes provided by members. A total of £863.00 was raised and this money will be divided between our international project ” Birthing in the Gambia” and Programme Action which supports local and national good causes. We are looking for new members and if you are interested please visit our website www.sigbi.org scroll through clubs and click on Mansfield.
