| Last year's weather was warm and sunny, this years weather
turned out to rather damp. Heavy rain on Saturday and overcast skies and
more rain early on Sunday meant we had to use the contingency plan and
switch from the field to
the hall. The team set about the task of preparing the food with Jo and
Brenda on roll slicing and others in the kitchen cooking burgers and
sausages meant the first batches were ready as members
 started
to arrive. There were plenty of rolls, salad, burgers, sausages and
sauces for every on to enjoy.
It was not long before the hall started to fill and in the end a
quick count revealed forty five members and friends were in attendance..
  Looking
round the hall everyone was tucking in and enjoying the food.
There was plenty to go round and Mick was seen circulating with a plate
of sausages trying to encourage people to eat more.
Following the sausages and burgers we had a range of desserts, tea or coffee was
also available.
Information booklets and letters from various charities were on display
in the hall
thanking the club for the donations we have made to them.
  The
winning BBQ ticket number prize was announced, a voucher
which was won by Norman.
Anne then followed on with the result of the name the
dog competition.
We then started the draw for the monster raffle which
ended up taking about 45 minutes due the large number of prizes and
people who already won generously putting tickets back. Names like Norman, Gloria
and Brenda seemed to keep being called. The raffle did very well raising £123
also the name the
dog competition raised £33.50. We would like to thank all who donated prizes including
the following companies Gullivers Pet Shop, High Street, Sittingbourne,
J D News, Quinton Road, Sittingbourne and Triogens, London Road Trading
Estate, Sittingbourne.
With the raffle finally completed our chairman Mike Cottell thanked
everybody for supporting the event, hoped they had enjoyed themselves.
He also thanked all those who had helped in the organising and on the
day.
