Jane Foster enlightened us about the invaluable work which the Children’s Society does to support children who have been abused or involved in drug trafficking, or trying to cope with mental health problems or parents who are alcoholic or drug addicts.  We were astonished to learn that 4.2 million children are living in abject poverty.  President Elizabeth presented Jane with a cheque for £2,224.00 for The Children’s Society, which was raised at Yvonne Neville’s “Truly Scrumptious Coffee Morning!” in July.

Andrew Clarke entertained us by singing whilst we were enjoying eating our Afternoon Tea.

District Chairman Anne Lyons and June Lane were the lucky winners of two beautiful Christmas cakes, which Veronica Malkowski had very kindly made for the raffle.  The proceeds will go to charity.
