All members entered into the spirit of the occasion: John Hadley made his ‘hat for all seasons’ and dyed his tie and shoes, David Watson-Jones startled the sales assistant when he asked to try on and then bought a stunning pink hat, Phil Sadler’s dress was a designer’s dream as were Gaynor Lloyds’ stripy tights, and Sally Ford's tutu was the envy of many a ballerina. Well done, one and all!

Our raffle and donations from the day enabled us to send Breast Cancer Now a cheque for £150.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the world; over 55,000 people are diagnosed every year in the UK and each year around 11,500 women and 90 men die from this disease. The charity Breast Cancer Now funds world-class research to find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat breast cancer.
