Cakes for our Blessing of the Boats Event

[Frances]

Here's an appeal to all the bakers amongst us - the Cutters do this so well!
Our lovely Blessing Ceremony is on Sunday  27 April, and we hope to offer tea coffee and cakes to our guests and visitors, in the boat park, on the day.

In addition to our own members, we've invited our neighbouring rowing clubs to bring a boat over,  so there could be quite a few of us gathered round.

It would be lovely if those able to,  could offer to bring something to share...... I'll bring some flapjacks, do please let me know here if you think you can contribute

Thank you very much
Frances

Hi Frances, I will bring the usual simnel cake just for Tom B even though it isn’t Easter!

[Lesley Grainger]

Hi Francis,
I'll bring cake.
The Gig club are lending us their hot water urn so I'll arrange to get it brought over. Thanks Rachel for enquiring about it with Robina.

[Sue Loveridge]

Happy to bring a cake.

[Frances]

Thanks all,  and thank you Lesley..... we were hoping to borrow boxes of mugs from the Gig Club too, much better than paper cups... was anything mentioned about that please?

[Lesley Grainger]

Hi Francis,
I'm sure that won't be a problem to borrow their mugs  as well.

Thank you Lesley, an urn and quite a lot of mugs (we don't know if we'll be able to wash up yet) is just right. I'm happy to come with you to fetch and carry

Tried to insert a picture of my millionaire shortbread but it wouldn't insert

[Frances]

This all sounds mouth-wateringly wonderful.... thanks everyone, any more offers still gratefully received, Cutters.

[Frances]

Please could I ask for a couple of willing hands to help with serving the teas and cakes,  and washing up mugs al fresco.....from about 11.30, or just before please?.... I'm expecting to be quite busy with customers!
Thank you
Frances

[Maureen Porteous]

Hi Frances, I can make some Brownies.  Maureen

[Pam P]

Will bring my Marigolds.....

[Line Paulsen]

Hi

My name is Line and I am new. Looking forward to meeting up on Sunday. Happy to bring either a cake or biscuits if you need any more?

Line

[Frances]

Hello Line, that's a lovely offer,  thank you..... we've already had 9 offers of cakes/bakes, so we are probably going to have enough - however, if you'd like to,  please do.
Looking forward to meeting you.

So,  Cutters, thanks for all the baking offers,  we've probably not got table space for anything else, I think we'll be OK.

I've got 4 kind helpers,  thank you,  i think we could be busy.
