ANGELS CAFE 2024
The cafe had a busy year. We have our regulars and have also seen some new faces. Our friend Sarah unfortunately died in June and is sorely missed. The “Angels” are Linda and Margaret (found in the kitchen), Jackie, Angela, Jeanette, Debbie, Katharine and Roger. John and Rob help by putting the tables and chairs out and then away. Colin serenades everyone with his large selection of music. Brian is always there supporting us. This year we donated almost £4000 to different charities. We couldn’t do this without the “friends” who come and have lunch with us!
