TaC BBQ

TaC ambassador, Pamela Steele, speaking at the BBQ

On Saturday morning we feared that the BBQ would be rained off but by 5pm the sun was shining and we had the perfect weather. There was good food and drink, and lively conversation. We met old friends and made new ones. Thank you Dominic and Makena and everyone who made this a successful event, which raised £353 for 'Teach a Child'.
