Summer Party – Sadler Walk Garden

14 August 2021

On Saturday 14 August, we were at last able to get together for our Summer Party in Sadler Walk Garden. 

As always it was a jolly occasion and we were particularly pleased to meet new members along with some of our regulars.  Despite missing friends, who have managed to finally get away, and others on holiday in the UK, 47 of us, including Liz Woolley, local historian, Bob & Jo Price, Cllr. Brad Baines, Sgt. Neale and two Community Police officers, joined in.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the wonderful spread of finger food, which was, as usual, an equal balance of savoury and sweet delights. Momina & Ali helped to erect the two gazebos, which thankfully were not needed, as it was a lovely dry balmy evening. Thanks too to Roger for all his help and to John Price for his efforts, ensuring that the Sadler Walk bushes were neatly trimmed.
