What a great day!

Fabulous food, great company and the usual Birsay Bay Tearoom views!

Thanks wholeheartedly to those who made it possible and supported us…

The STARS – Bob, Bev, Moya, Marion, Jean and Kerry….

The suppliers – Fletts, Wilsons, Orkney Fishermans Soc. and Orkney College.

AND by no means least those who came, sampled, enjoyed and gave us such a huge boost to our fundraising…
And also to those who donated, but couldn’t attend.

WINE TASTING - Aberdeen Nov 24th

Thanks so much to friends and family who appeared, imbibed and supported us so generously. Well done Ben for winning, the Sangster girls for coming last and 2nd last and Ally for donning Wim's lycra cycle suit to present the prizes.......!
A great night was had by all.
A grand total of £450 was raised by those present and those who couldnt make it on the night.

Without the donations of wine from Mickie at Sainsburys (Berryden), Andy at Oddbins, Trevor at Tesco (Westhill), Somerfield (Orkney) and Duncan McLean (Longship) the night wouldn't have been possible. Likewise the wonderful food from Ben to soak up the wine!

Next up Vietnamese style lunch, Birsay Bay Tearooms on Dec 1st.....
