Afternoon Tea 10th July
A grand array or dainty sandwiches and home-made cakes and scones made up this first Traditional Afternoon Tea in the village hall accompanied by tea or coffee in fine china which had been lent by Jo of Age Concern in Aylesbury. The warm sunshine and village company made this a delightful, relaxed occasion. The teas and raffle made approximately £200 for the Village Hall funds. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the preparation of the afternoon and to those who came to enjoy.

  • Elderly (over 65) members of the public with or without private car.
  • Single parent or family with young children and no car
  • Single parent or family with young children with 1 private car
