Report and photos - Jim Paterson
St.
Mungo's joined the Macmillan World's Biggest Coffee Morning fundraising weekend on Saturday 1st October in the church hall. Repeating the successful event of past years, the hall once again was filled with fresh baking
and lots of hot tea and coffee.
 The
sun shone down on the visitors, including many St. Mungo's members who
took a break from their morning chores and shopping (Ed - isn't that
classed as a chore?) for a well earned break and a chance to chat
with friends new and old.
The social team ladies
had been busy baking and scones with strawberry and cream leading into
cream sponges, and chocolate cake. Cup cakes too filled the table.
Making
a donation to Macmillan Cancer Support served as the entry, as no ticket
required. Coffee and tea was served at the table so no need to even
rise for a refill.
A
competition to guess the number of hundreds and thousands on a cake,
which ranged from 100 to over a thousand, was won
by Helen Sutherland who was nearest the actual 495, with a guess
of 501.
Not bad at all, and won her the bottle of Prosecco.
 A selection
books laid out at the front of the stage attracted a few people looking
for a
keenly priced bargain to read over the weekend, as did a table heaving
with home baking for sale. I was looking for my usual tea loaf but
they had all been sold. Should have been a bit earlier. Less chat and
more shopping (Ed - here we go on the shopping again!)
Member Avis Anderson was at the display of cards that member Heather
Boyle made, here together with Agnes Ovenstone with big smiles all
round.
By
the end of the morning the few items of home baking left were kept for
the after Sunday service gathering for tea and coffee.
Well
done and thank you to all who contributed to this worthwhile
cause.
The final total reached £400, plus many with Gift Aid, so nearer £450.
Thanks to everyone who donated.
