On a gloriously hot and sunny Wednesday afternoon at the end of May 70 members of the U3A Vall del Pop and their friends and family and supporters of Paws dog rescue enjoyed a wonderful, very English afternoon tea in the garden.
Beautiful fine china and pretty tablecloths and napkins, old fashioned cake stands and gorgeous china tea pots created a lovely vintage feel to the occasion.
Guests were treated to an endless supply of cava and cold drinks on arrival and throughout, much needed in the heat!, enjoyed fabulous live music from Paul and Judy J who kindly performed for us, and rails of clothes, shoes, bags and accessories to peruse and treat themselves to. Surely every lady’s dream?!
A full afternoon tea was then served with a generous assortment of delicious sandwiches and savouries, followed by home made scones, jam and cream and a huge variety of delicious home made cakes. All goodies were kindly made by members of the U3A Goodwill fundraising team and Paws team members and served by Paws and Goodwill volunteers, who worked tirelessly in the heat to keep everyone topped up with tea and tea! A huge well done and thank you to everyone who worked behind the scenes and front of house, absolute stars!
A few brave ladies defied the heat to have a dance while most enjoyed the shade and chatted and laughed throughout the afternoon.
A very generous raffle was held with 24 donated prizes.
What a wonderful way to pass an afternoon with friends and raising money for charity.
We were delighted to raise a few euros short of 1000 euros which was shared equally between the 2 charities. Great to see 2 charities working together and supporting each other.
Thank you to everyone who came and supported our very first afternoon tea and helped to make it such an amazing success.
