Every Summer, Medway and Maidstone member Carol McKeough hosts a BBQ as a fundraiser when she opens up her home and garden on the North Downs inviting club members to attend.
On arrival we were given a warm welcome by our host Carol. She has everything organised, even ensuring the sun is shining and the garden in full bloom.
Soroptimister Chris Garnons-Williams is on duty in his Grill-father apron and already has the BBQ going and there is the aroma of the cooked meat to tempt us. Janet Garnons-Williams and Liz Duckworth are inside setting out the selection of delicious salads and desserts brought by members for us to choose from.
With drinks in hand and plates full everyone sits outside for the next few hours to relax and chat with Soroptimist friends, enjoying the BBQ food and company.
Angela Howe was able to join us even though she had broken her wrist, but still managed to organise a raffle. After an enjoyable afternoon, with donations and raffle monies the sum of £235 was raised for domestic abuse charities.
A big thank you to Carol and all those who ensured a good time was had by all.
