The Choir's Garden Party on 15 June 2019
The weather held, and a great party was held in Rita and Brian's home. There was some warm sunshine, and a huge amount of delicious food to eat with scrumptious plates some of which were recognised from previous years, but also mouth watering new ones. Rita and Brian had done the Choir proud once again, with a warm welcome from Brian organising the car parking and, later, encouraging a little exercise and competition on the croquet lawn. It was truly a grand party organised by Jean and her generous team.
