Summer Party 8th July 2006 Once again we were blessed with great weather for our summer party - luckily the heat of the week had been tempered by rainfall the night before. Over 40 members and their guests turned up for great food and entertaining conversation, and they weren't disappointed. There were also three punt trips down the river, a raffle and the obligatory book sale. Here are some photographs from the day:
The summer party in full swing. At a pot-luck event you can never quite tell what goodies people will turn up with. This year, there were lots of delicious strawberries, raspberries and loganberries, as well as an amazing homemade chocolate cake, amongst the many temptations.
Julie Bruton-Seal, Matthew Seal and Anthony Thwaite discuss the finer points of soft fruit.
Matthew Seal, Tom Corbett and Juliet Corbett take a look at the second-hand books for sale.

Guests peruse the book and plant stall, whilst others chat and enjoy the sun.
Dessert is called at the food table.
