The Garden Party 2009

Views over to Hengistbury Head

The year our summer Garden Party was held in the garden of the Red House Museum, near the Christchurch Priory Church, on Saturday afternoon, st August. There were the usual stalls and raffle with loads of prizes and games, and of course our famous Cream Teas which everyone loved!

We thank the volunteers who set up the event, helped at the stalls, and served teas, washed up and many other things. We thank you! It's was great fun as it's our largest fund raiser. The money goes towards supporting the management of Stanpit Marsh, specifically, towards the Marsh warden.

It rained a little in the middle of the tea party. But we all had a wonderful afternoon.

Thanks also to all who helped fold the tables, take down the gazebos, pack up the stalls and carry the boxes to the cars.

Everyone looks forward to our next Garden Party in 2010 because we love laughing with friends, eating cream teas, playing funny games, trying to win one of the many prizes in the lottery, and bagging a bargain at the stalls...!!
