EATING and drinking in convivial surroundings, and chatting to friends old and new – that was the order of the day at the club’s annual barbecue.
Friends and family joined members who enjoyed the sunshine while tucking into tasty roast pork, chicken and sausages, in the lovely Bishop’s Waltham garden of former president Mrs Pam Simcock.
President Margaret Smith was delighted to welcome five members from Worcester and Malvern club. Also among those in attendance were Soroptimists from local clubs at Southampton, Chichester and Winchester including their president Lorraine Marriott.
Mrs Smith thanked everyone for supporting the event and helping to raise funds for local charities.
Slightly more than a hundred people enjoyed the afternoon while helping to boost the coffers of the Alzheimer’s Society and the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
The event raised more than £1,400 including £367 from a raffle and £207 from a sale of plants supervised by Pam Grosvenor.
