Old Fashioned English Sports Day and Cream Tea

Hi all,

For our next fundraiser event we are going to have an Old Fashioned English Sports Day and Cream Tea!

Here's the poster, very generously designed by Susan Guthrie (thank you!)

 

Please come, all ages are invited. We'll have races! (Egg and spoon, three legged and others!) Croquet! Dressing up! And more. Plus a proper English tea with jam, homemade scones, cream and of course tea. As well as homemade organic lemonade. Bring your teacup, chair and your mum (if you want to).

On Mother’s Day
Sunday, May 8th
Starting at 1 P.M.
In Monroe on Red Barn Rd

RSVP: Hilaecuadortrip (at) gmail.com
Suggested donation: $10 a person, $5 for kids


My mum came up with the idea, and we're having a great time thinking up ideas for sports and prize ribbons and gathering tea pots and things. My mum has been telling me about the sports days they had when she was little, and they sound very funny (it's quite handy that she is British and has actually been to English sports days, and that she grew up with cream teas). We found some old black and white pictures of egg and spoon races and sack races from this kind of event online and were just hooting over them! I'm very excited about this one.

Really, I'd love for you to come join the fun, bring a friend, bring your kids, bring your mum! (Or not.)

Cherio!
