Hawes Parochial Tea

The Annual Parochial Tea at Hawes November 24th 2004

The vicar Bill Simms announced that Barclays Bank are sponsoring the Parochial tea and have agreed to match pound for pound all money raised.
Mr. Norman Routh (local business man until his retirement) opened the proceedings and gave a brief reminicence of past Parochial teas.
We had another super afternoon with a lovely tea. We wons lots of prizes on the tombola, more books, new handbags for three off the bric-a-brac stall and lots of cakes and toffee to take home.
This will be the last Parochial tea to be held in November.
Next year it will be held in July when the evenings are still light.

It never ceases to amaze me all the hard work and dedication that the Hawes ladies put into the preparations, baking and serving at the annual Parochial Tea.
