Another great Soup & Sweet event
held by Auchencairn and Rerrick Church

images of the day. |
On Wednesday 16th July the members of Auchencairn and Rerrick Church Guild held their annual major fund raising event in the Murray Hall, Auchencairn.
To call it simply a 'Soup and Sweet' seemed somehow not to do justice to the cornucopia of goodies on offer, all of which were home made and donated by the Guild members.
Entry by pre-purchased tickets or cash at the door allowed the visitor to eat as much as they wished and wash it down with tea, coffee or fruit flavoured drinks.The serving tables fairly groaned under the weight of the delightful and varied soups, that were eagerly devoured and followed by a lovely selection of sweets, some of which were even suited to those watching their calorie count. In truth most people seemed to forget waistline issues for a time and just revel in the experience.
A sales tables of bric-a-brac, home baking and fresh garden produce proved to be very popular, with little but a few crumbs left for disposal.
Guild President Trish Dawson speaking afterwards said "This was a tremendously enjoyable and successful event, resulting from a huge amount of hard work done by members and their families, involved in the preparation, presentation and service. A decision will be made later as to which local charitable projects may benefit from donations arising from over £650 that we have raised today. A big 'thank you' must again be said to all who supported us by their attendance." |

While the south of England has been battered by high tides we have been very fortunate so far. Our 9 metre tide on 10th March didn't get the push from the wind that was expected but still managed to cover the footpath at the head of the bay and encroach well onto the land of Torr Farm as shown in our photographs taken by farmer Ross Paton and his sister Lee. |
