On Sunday 9th August we joined a gathering of men and women to celebrate National Women's Day with a high tea.  There was a variety of sweet and savoury eats including a version of Janine's famous microwave chocolate cake.  The afternoon included a quest speaker - Mary, who spoke about overcoming an abusive marriage as well as bowel cancer.  It was an interesting speech to say the least.
The other entertainment included a piano recital by Dieter, two young ladies who played the clarinet and violin respectively as well as Daphne's funky belly-dancing demonstration.
Ryno entertained us with beautiful versions of famous songs (even with technical difficulties).
The afternoon ended with a zumba demonstration which had some ladies joining in.  It was a wonderful afternoon to chat and catch-up with friends and we even received a goodie bag.  The money raised will be donated to the Pear Tree Project which gives essential supplies to new mothers for their babies which are born at Somerset Hospital.
Last but not least everyone looked stunning in their various hats.
