The Parish Rosary Group struck gold with their fundraising Tea Party on Saturday 12th, September. The team transformed our church in Tiptree into a wonderful tearoom with tables dressed in traditional bone China on crispy white tablecloths topped up with fresh flowers vases and food towers full of sweet and savoury delicacies prepared by some of our very talented parish ladies.
On arrival, guests were greeted with a glass of Prosecco and smoked salmon blinis. On their tables, they found towers laid with varied flavoured finger sandwiches, cheese twists with jalapeno, the most delicate mini meringues and scones, lemon and pumpkin cakes, brownies and other delicious items were some of the creative mixed offered to each table enjoyed by children and adults alike. The atmosphere was described as ‘magical’ and the experienced compared to having tea at the Ritz!
Congratulations to all those who contributed in any way making this event such a success both as entertainment and as a fundraiser. The total raised on the day, including the raffle, was just over £1.150 and is expected to raise a little with late donations.
Well done everyone. The hard work was worthy!
