The 4th November saw the return of the Bowdon Cruise, the flagship of Bowdon Cares, at St Luke’s Church. The guests embarked in anticipation of enjoying a fantastic event. They were not disappointed as a sumptuous spread was prepared and served by the Bowdon Cares team and other willing helpers.
Jean Gibb couldn’t contain her joy at being invited and was full of compliments for the team. She said how wonderful it was to get together for a couple of hours to chat to old friends and to make new ones. We were all delighted to welcome our new Vicar, Revd Ian Rumsey, and his wife Colleen to the gathering. We overheard a number of people say how lovely it was to meet them.
After the food we played a game of bingo. This was great fun, especially as nearly every ball had been pulled out before anybody won a line! This was followed by a raffle, with a good number of very nice prizes. These were beautifully presented and received very well by the guests.
As they left, we invited the guests to come to the Coffee Cabin, held every Monday morning 10:30 am – 12 noon at St Luke’s, Vicarage Lane, Bowdon.
Well done Bowdon Cares: another triumph.
Chris Cadman (a willing helper)
