Mashambanzou BBQ
Over 50 people came to the BBQ last Sunday, including a contingent from Zimbabwe. The weather was slightly cooler than forecast and we had plenty of shade so it was comfortable. We raised £1,000. Thank you to all who came, and who also contributed with raffle prizes, salads and desserts and with setting up and clearing away. It was an enjoyable day for a good cause.Robert Francis
