Coffee Morning

Coffee Morning

Hello to all our wonderful supporters.

How would you like to hold a Coffee Morning for our charity?

Ask along as many people as you can and encourage them to donate something for their refreshments.  Maybe one or two helpers could donate a cake for your coffee morning.  All proceeds go to 'Heartbeat' to help raise funds to purchase another defib' unit.

We can provide leaflets, and a box of cards for sale so that your guests have something extra to interest them.  Or maybe someone could donate an item that can be raffled.

If you can help then that would be terrific!  Contact me to make arrangements.

Dare you - DOUBLE DARE YOU!

NO COMMENT

Will you be the first to add a comment to our blogsite?

Go on - dare you - double dare you!

Thank you to all those who have visited the site. It would be good to get some feedback though.  You can be as honest as you like!

I would like to jazz up the site a little but have no idea how to go about doing this.  If you are a whizz at IT and can give me a tutorial then I will gladly accept x

Vegetarian???

Vegetarian???

Well, I nearly turned back into a meat eater last week!

At the Great Elizabethan Bake Off at Luton there was a set meal.  I didn't want to make a fuss so went along with what was on the menu thinking I could give my meat to husband Mike.

Before doing that I tried one little mouthful of pork.  Delicious!!  Ended up eating the lot!  Having not eaten meat for many years I was surprised at myself. 

It was all due to the wonderful food chef Nick produces.  Do go along and try the menu there - I can highly recommend the food!  It would be good to support them too after all the help Anne and Nick have given 'Heartbeat' and other charities.

I'm just off for a bacon sandwich. x

Oops!

Ooops!

Our blogspot details are www.teignheartbeat.blogspot.co.uk

Well, I printed off some mini leaflets in a hurry - should have checked them more thoroughly.  Instead of 'blogspot' I had typed 'bogspot'

Oh dear - sorry!  I had already given out some before I realised.

£220.50 in the jar!


£220.50 in the jar!
 
‘The Great Elizabethan Bake Off’ last Friday was a huge success.

A warm and friendly atmosphere awaited us all at the Elizabethan with smiling hosts Anne and Nick welcoming everyone.

Diners enjoyed a really (really, really!) delicious two-course meal to start with.  Then tantalising and tempting platters of several yummy desserts were served.  Different people made all these and we had to score the results out of ten. Lots of chat went on about ones favourite and it was difficult to decide they were all so delicious.  I went for the melt-in-the-mouth cheesecake (ten out of ten) whilst Mike debated between the toffee apple crumble and custard and the lime tart.

A donations jar was left on the bar – when customers went to pay for their meal they were asked to give a donation to ‘Heartbeat’ for their desserts (that were free).

The amount raised was staggering and will be such a great help to the charity.  A BIG thank you to everyone who gave and an especially HUGE thank you to Anne and Nick for hosting the event.

We have enough in the kitty now to purchase another complete unit (defib’ and cabinet).
