7th June 2023 – Spring social
Deborah Jarman kindly hosted our spring social at her home in Great Wacton, Bredenbury. It was a “bring and share” event with members providing lots of lovely savoury and sweet items of food to share. It was a pleasant evening so we were able to sit outside to chat and eat until it cooled down and we moved inside for tea/coffee. Thank you to Deborah for hosting the event.
