The Cheshire Branch of the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association held its annual Strawberry and Cream Evening at the Nantwich Cricket Club on the 9th July to raise money to support people living with MND. Hazel Francis, Branch Fund Raiser, organized this year’s event following the retirement after 10 years on the committee of Joan Park who, sadly, could not attend due to ill health.
More than 80 members and friends of the Cheshire Branch were at the cricket club to enjoy several games of bingo, a raffle, a bottle cork raffle and an auction of a cake donated by Cuppa and Cakes Macon House Community Group.
There were also stalls selling plants, cakes, jewelry and white elephant items. Our thanks go to Nancy Dutton who donated £250 raised from selling various knitted items throughout the year, and a further £65 donation from Arthur Chorkley from the sale of plants.
Those who attended enjoyed scones served with jam and cream and, of course, a bowl of strawberries and cream! At the end of the evening Chairperson of the Cheshire Branch of the MND Association, Julie Williams, thanked everyone who had supported the event, including many local shops and businesses for their generous donations. To date, this year’s Strawberries and Cream event has raised more than £800.
