Our commiserations go to Ray and Veronica who after working so hard to prepare the Pub Quiz evening, they tested positive for Covid a few days before the event and couldn’t attend. But President Lynn rallied the troops and and would like to thank everyone who helped make it such a pleasant and successful event.

Lots of members and husbands came to set up the room and stayed at the end to help clear up. The flowers Rosemary organised for the tables were just right. Lots of members donated delicious desserts and we were spoilt for choice. Many people, who were unable to come, still paid for a ticket.

The raffle was wonderfully run by Margaret and Frank, set out and drawn by Jennifer and we raised over £270. President Lynn had announced that the proceeds of the raffle would go to the Ukraine appeal.

Janet did all the printing for the quiz we put together and that seemed to be well received. Kelvin used Michael Neville’s cards and we played 2 games of card bingo. Anne’s donated bottle of gin raised another £30.

Dain’s sister Sally did us proud as ever with the delicious meals and the kitchen helpers were fantastic. Our newest member Sue’s husband David compered the karaoke.

It was such a pity Veronica and Ray were unable to be with us. It was their hard work and the effort put into the preparation that meant it could go ahead. Ray’s expertise in setting up the equipment saved the day. It really was a fantastic team effort and I can’t thank people enough. The final total raised was £1191.00.
