There are outstanding Coffee Mornings and there are phenomenal Coffee Mornings. The Coffee Morning on Monday 5th November was undoubtedly the latter.

Rachel Boyles was present to sell her lovely cards.

The big event was to thank Anne Jones for her contribution to the success of Weston Favell Village Residents’ Association. Anne has now retired from Committee, but was responsible for setting up the Association and has been a driving force since inception. Liz Gausden, as ever in her own inimitable style, paid tribute to her with a beautiful song which said it all. The worshipful the Mayor of Northampton Cllr Tony Ansell (accompanied by the Lady Mayoress) arrived to also pay tribute with a warm and heartfelt  speech. Mary Markham, who unfortunately could not attend, sent a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Anne’s Daughter Rachel and Daughter-in-law Emma also turned up for this special event.

Over 60 Members turned out in force to express their thanks to Anne for her “marvellous” achievement and to join in this wonderful occasion.

Following the Coffee Morning Committee Members, the Mayor and Lady Mayoress,  attended a Lunch, organised to show our appreciation for all Anne’s efforts over the years. 

Sincere thanks must go to Julie of the Bold Dragoon for providing coffee and refreshments initially, and for serving what can only be described as a most delicious  meal.

In addition special thanks must also go to Mary Markham who provided scrumptious desserts.

A day to remember.
