Sunday Tea with the Leetones

Sunday Tea with the Leetones

After Christmas it was back to normal for the Good Neighbour's Sunday Teas which take place the first Sunday of each month. At this tea, members were entertained by the Tony and Lisa of the Lee Tones  who sang such songs as Mary Wells's  "My Guy", Connie Francis's  "Who's Sorry Now", Carole Kings's  "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" and Chuck Berry's "Johnny B Goode" which still sounds as fresh today as when it came out 55 years ago

Helen also talks to Charlene a new volunteer who gives her impression of a first visit to our Sunday Tea event

2012 Garden Produce for Sale

Even at our first attempt the Chorlton Good Neighbours garden was productive.
Here Carolyn is arranging potatoes and collecting Kale and other goods for sale at one of the Thursday Coffee Mornings.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all our supporters. We are having a New Year's lunch on Tuesday 8th January, midday for some of our older members who have spent the majority of Christmas on their own.

A couple of requests to help us out:

1. Has anybody got any Christmas crackers (unused!) that they can spare for the lunch
   


2. If you have any unwanted Christmas presents and wish to recycle them please could you bring them into the office and if they are chocolates, the office staff will enjoy them very much! But seriously, any unused gifts will be used as raffle prizes at the New Year's lunch

With best wishes to you all,

Helen

Pumpkin & Leek Soup, Cheese Flan & Parkin

 Kim, from Cracking Good Food, led another cooking session at Good Neighbours on 30th October. On the menu was a warming and seasonal, pumpkin, leek and thyme soup and a cheese and onion flan. To finish off we made a lovely parkin cake. We ate all we produced and learnt a lot about soup, flan and cake making in the process
