26th August – It was a glorious Saturday inAugust when Members of SI Garstang made their way to the home of Judith and Alan.
This was an occasion to celebrate our friendship but also to raise funds for our current charity ‘Classrooms in the Clouds’
This wonderful event provided a feast of delicacies for everyone to enjoy together with kind donations from our members. The weather was being exceptionally kind and together with summer Pimms made a perfect afternoon.
Everyone left fully sated if not some pounds heavier, but lighter by pounds in their pockets. We were fortunate in being to raise £135 for our charity.
