Tea in the Park - Thank You

Dear Friends of Cottenham Park

Thank you everyone on the committee who spent many hours soliciting gifts, collecting them and organising the successful day. Quite a task as this was the first time we had actually done it on our own since the old guard stepped down, well done.

To those who helped erecting the marquee and gazebos and didn't we laugh trying to figure out how the framework fitted together? Thanks also.

To those who set up the various stalls with the produce they were selling from organic vegetables to plants to books to bottles to face painting to cakes and to the games for children organisers. What a sterling effort by everyone concerned. Thanks too.

To the band who played all afternoon without a break and kept the mood happy playing songs we have grown up with, lets book them again for next year! Well done the band.

Finally to all the friends themselves who came on this not very sunny day and spent their cash on the products on offer. To the businesses who donated the raffle prizes and those who gave bottles, cakes, plants and books etc all making this a successful day

We raised £798 to use in our park. Your committee will decide in conjunction with Merton Greenspaces what to do with the money raised and let you know.

Best wishes

Mike Hammond

Chairman FCP
