The Bake-Off was an amazing afternoon. The cakes looked and tasted beautiful, and it was lovely to

have time to sit and chat to people, both those who we might see in our own group each week and

new friends.

And as for our Christmas party: wow, what an evening! It was far more than Paul and the committee

could have imagined, and it was all down to every one of you. When we asked for donations for the

raffle hampers, we were hoping you might be able to bring in a small item each. What came in

bowled us over, we really couldn’t believe your generosity in donations and purchasing tickets for the

raffle and the party itself. Huge thanks to Jane for being able to turn a room of her house into Santa’s

workshop for a couple of weeks! And I can’t mention the party without saying another thank you to

Selina.

We are so lucky to have you, and everyone, in our CCC family, giving your time, skill, and hard

work for us. This is just the beginning, we have to keep working hard to ensure that the vision of CCC can come to

fruition; so there will be more fundraising and social events in the next year. CCC Committee Dec 2023
