The weather turned out to be perfect for us, the previous extreme heat - and the rain - held off and we enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon on the terrace with views of part of the golf course.

The sandwiches were excellent - the cucumber ones naturally with the crusts removed – and went down very well with the Prosecco and endless pots of tea. Considerable discussion arose about the correct order to apply jam and cream to a scone, but no real consensus was reached. The delicious cakes, presented on lovely bone china tea stands, were likewise eagerly devoured, the vast supply of food being rapidly reduced to just a small handful of left-over sandwiches. There was much laughter which seems to indicate a successful event and one of our American members was delighted and intrigued by their introduction to this fixture of traditional English fare. It seems likely that we will be repeating this next year!

Many thanks to the very friendly and helpful staff for their hard work and support.

Our next club event will be our traditional October Car Treasure Hunt and Lunch.
