£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).
