Church BBQ

Please put this date in your diary SUNDAY AUGUST 22ND   the venue will be at Irene Carroll’s, from 12 noon to 4pm- ish!

The Elders thought it would be really nice to have a BBQ where everyone could come and spend an idyllic afternoon chatting and enjoying everyone’s company.  

This will be a true CARROLL BBQ!  It will not be just bangers and burgers…….. I will ensure that all tastes are catered for including vegetarian and non meat eaters.   

A small charge of £2 per Adult will be made, (children free), a plate for donations will also be available.  Beverages and soft drinks will be available throughout the afternoon.

I can muster up about twenty chairs but if you can bring one with you then please do so.

And yes we have a toilet down stairs so don’t worry if you can’t manage the stairs. 

Nearer the time I would be grateful if will let me know if you intend coming and that you also start praying that August 22nd is  a lovely sunny day!!

Please come and make this a really happy occasion.
