We were pleased to be able to participate in Mr Yorke’s Open Garden day in Richmond in June. This event was part of the Richmond 950 celebrations, and SI Richmond and Dales manned a refreshment stall in aid of our President’s charity, Just the Job.
Members baked and donated cakes for the stall, together with tea and coffee supplies. We also raffled two hampers filled by members donations. Luckily the weather was good, and we were able to raise £445.50. We had a superb selection of cakes, prompting many compliments from the visitors. Marcia and Dennis McLuckie, whose garden this is, expressed their sincere thanks to SI Richmond & Dales for taking care of all the refreshments.
As we have not yet been able to meet in person for a club meeting, we also took advantage of this event to present President Sharon with the Club Regalia.
