Happy Event at the Manse in Port Charlotte
27th June was a perfect day for a strawberry tea; tennis at Wimbledon, a dry and warm day, but with a breeze to keep the midges at bay!
A goodly number of people gathered at the Manse in Port Charlotte, to eat strawberries and cream, with scones and jam, and drink tea. Church members and visitors from the villages around the island, and further afield, were attracted to this happy event, and a total of £420 was donated for the Klay Orphenage project. St Kiaran’s church, in partnership with the charity “Mary’s Meals” is funding this orphanage in Liberia, west Africa during 2009.
Many thanks are due to the people who baked scones for the tea, and the volunteer who picked the Strawberries from Bridgend Community Garden! Also the staff who served on the day, Patricia Halsall, Jean MacKay, Karen Cracknell, Janet Waterworth, Chris Fulcher.
The next St Kiaran’s events are 23 July Summer Bazaar in Bruichladdich Hall; 9 August Open Air Service on Port Charlotte green.
