Ring For Your Cream Tea – Sunday 17th September 2023

Posted on by

Diana Street has organised a ringing event for the afternoon of Sunday 17 September, with the added bonus of a Cream Tea at The Johnson Farm in Old Hurst. All are welcome. 

She has provided the following information (all now confirmed):

12:15pm (bells down) to 1pm Hemingford Abbots PE28 9AL 6 14 cwt in G# (toilet in kitchen area)

1:15pm to 2pm Hemingford Grey PE28 9DF 8 11-2-12 in G# (toilet in kitchen area)

2:15pm to 3pm St. Ives PE27 6DG 8 12-0-4 in G (Portaloo inside South Porch)

3:30pm Tea at Johnson’s Farm Old Hurst (off A141) Church St, Huntingdon PE28 3AF

I will leave a donation at each tower, so £3 each should cover this, please give it to me on the day.

The standard Cream Tea (scone with jam & cream plus tea/coffee) offered by the Tearoom is priced at £7.25, but if you want something more substantial, the whole Steakhouse Afternoon Tea offer is £27 per person, see menu below for other choices. They can cater for special requests and for nut allergy as long as it is stated with order, please. I did have to check out their home-made scones (scone and tea = cream tea) before I made the booking!!

PLEASE NOTE the order the will need to be placed, with me, by Tuesday 12th September so I can collate and forward to them in one go please. (please include price to ensure I order correct items for you). Thank you.

Both ringing and non-ringing family members and friends are welcome to join us for afternoon tea at Johnson’s Farm at Old Hurst – we may have a function room to ourselves. 

For non-ringers there is the added bonus of the Farm, with its animals, birds and ‘safe distance’ crocodiles to look round for a £3 adult entry fee, including a children’s play park (please have sensible footwear, for the fields part, if there has been any rain), while the rest of us ring!

It should be a lovely afternoon for us all to enjoy together, with the added bonus of food after the ringing workout.  I look forward to seeing you all and there is the chance we will get to know each other better.  

Thank you and see you then if not before.

Take care, Diana diana_cherryfields@yahoo.co.uk
