In June the retired members of St. Barnabas’ congregation invited guests to an afternoon tea to celebrate the Queen’s Golden Jubilee. Over 30 people turned up to enjoy an appetising buffet tea prepared and served by St. Barnabas’ Hospitality Group.

After tea Mr. Phillip Clark, the former head teacher from St. Mark’s Primary School Woodley, gave a stimulating talk to the guests. The talk was followed by a quiz about the 1950’s devised and run by Daryl and Clem Beaumont, the prize-winners were Dr. Chris Gordon’s team. Connie Wheatley then led a couple of lively Bingo games and a free raffle was held - there were many prize winners! The party came to an end after an enjoyable and entertaining afternoon.

There will be another social afternoon on Friday 11th October 2002.

Admission is free and there will be an opportunity to play board games, Bingo, listen to music, chat with friends and enjoy FREE tea and biscuits. More details about this are on the events page
