This will be an informal gathering starting at 3.30pm and will include a bring and share tea starting at 4pm. The evening will finish at about 7pm. Do come and join us for all or part of the time. There is no charge but there will be an opportunity to make gifts towards the support of our mission partners if you wish.
It will help with catering if you could sign one of the lists indicating you intend to attend. It would also be helpful if you could bring your own garden chair!
