Eid Celebrations

What an enjoyable afternoon we had with Khalida and all of our members celebrating the Festival of Light. Khalida was delighted to see how we had dressed in her honour and was impressed by our style and panache. We loved the experience and cant wait to dress up again!Mandy had bought delicious Indian sweets, so colourful (and full of calories), which we served with our afternoon tea.

As well as celebrating our members birthdays, we try to recognise festivals and events in their lives and it seems that each week we always have something special to remember.
