Teynham Community Hall

The Community Hall continues to be busy with lots of weekend bookings. We held a joint event – Coronation Cream Tea with Teynham & Lynsted WI to celebrate the King’s Coronation The previous President of the WI Rose IngramFriend had recently passed away so Teynham PC and the WI hosted this event in her memory. We provided cream tea’s, tea, coffee and more cake. We also ran a raffle to raise money for Cancer Research UK in memory of Rose and we raised £407 for that charity. Overleaf is a photo of the event which was a huge success and we are grateful to everyone who helped in the kitchen, baked cakes and helped on the day – Rose would have loved it!!

An amazing turn out at our Coronation Cream tea this morning - 65 cream teas sold plus lots of cakes and raffle tickets. We certainly did our dear friend Rose IngramFriend proud, she would have loved it and we missed her so much. We raised £407 for Cancer Research UK in her memory.

We’d like to thank the Bowls team for setting the tables up and the WI for all their help setting up, working in the kitchen and just being generally fabulous! Thank you to Paul Seymour for the music and the moving national anthem that everyone joined in for at the end.

Also thanks go to JoJo’s, Crispins Fish Bar and the Co-op in Teynham for their generous raffle prizes.

Finally we’d like to thank Rose Ingram-Friend who did so much for the Parish Council, always there to help at events with laughter and a wicked sense of humour
