Burwash

Party: A big thank you to all the organisers for a fantastic day on Saturday's celebration of The Queen's 90th birthday. The afternoon began at 1pm with a parade up the high street led by the Pentacle Drummers and the Pentax E Drummers, who also gave a display on the Playing field. The children enjoyed games and fun and were each given a medal commemorating the Queen's birthday. There was a tug of war with plenty of willing hands. Best dressed had to go to Eddie Workman who wore a suit of mini union jacks and looked very dapper. The evening was held at Burwash Common playing filed where there was a hog roast and music supplied by 21 whiskey's. All in all a very good day. On Sunday a group of friends gathered at the village hall which was decorated with a union jack flag and bunting and a maple leaf flag and napkins ( Canada being part of the Commonwealth) to enjoy lovely food and company to celebrate birthdays of the Queen and two of the guests. A great week end of celebrating.

Afternoon tea: Thank you to Lynda & Richard Maude Roxby for hosting yet another fabulous afternoon tea in their beautiful garden in the sunshine. The tables were beautifully presented with china cups and saucers, fresh flowers and each guest was waited on and served an amazing array of cakes and a fresh pot of tea. It was like being at the Ritz but with a lovely outdoor setting.

There was a raffle and items to buy including the beautifully decorated blown eggs by Brenda. A total over £700 was raised for Admiral nurses for Dementia. Thank you to all who went along and supported.
