June 1st 2024 - Summer Garden Party
Once again we held our Garden Party in the grounds of The Mansion (Thank you Mansion for this and the kind donation of the 'Afternoon Tea for Two' for our Raffle.
A somewhat smaller affair this year, maybe because it clashed with the half-term holiday, but still enjoyed by over 75 people. The children enjoyed fun and games, as usual, as well as a Quiz, drawing competition plus our Balloon man (Paul) made the children hats, swords and animals out of balloons. There are a few photos in the album, mainly of the children who took part in the drawing competition. All received a small gift for entering and the winner, Connor, received a drawing set as a prize.
Live music was provided by 'The Squirrels' and background music by Jim. Although we could hear the lovely cabaret from the Mansion at times too.
Our thanks go to all the CDRA committe for their donations of prizes and help on the day. We raised a total profit of £171.08 for the chosen charity: Friends of Fareham Community Hospital.
