The afternoon of 28th July saw around 150 members of St Michael's and the Benefice community get together in the Rectory garden to enjoy a BBQ in the sunshine.

The catering team put on a fantastic spread of burgers, salads and puds, and there was plenty for everyone to share. The BBQ is an annual event hosted by the Revds Tim and Nat Garrett in the Rectory garden, to enable the whole Benefice to socialise and get to know one another better. All ages were welcomed, with children offered face painting and a bouncy castle while the grown-ups relaxed among good friends and family.

Visitors commented:

'Lovely catch up with so many people – thank you to one and all and of course to Tim and Nat for a perfect venue'.

'A lovely afternoon, thank you to everyone who made it possible.'

'It was a great afternoon! Thank you Tim and Nat for hosting and Fee for organising all the catering! We were definitely blessed with such lovely weather!'
