Cream Teas at Beaufort House

24 July 2010

Taking part in the RABI National Cream Tea 'great scone debate' - Which goes on top, the cream or the jam?, was the question on the lips of residents and guests at Beaufort House Burnham on Sea on Saturday 24th July.

At their annual summer party, residents, their family’s friends and invited guests, were treated to a cream tea prepared and served by members from the Chew Valley and the Highbridge Young Farmers Clubs to raise money for RABI.

Some of the residents at the home, were themselves members of the Young Farmers Club. Mrs Bertha King (*PICTURED with Kate Lyons) was delighted to meet a member form her former club, The Chew Valley YFC where her husband was the first chairman, more than 75 Years ago.

As well as enjoying scones and jam with clotted cream donated by Rodda's, the Rivertones Barber Shop singers entertained the residents. £589.60 was also raised for the home's Resident's amenity fund on other stalls and a grand raffle.

Susan Luck, Beaufort House Manager, said, "We had a wonderful party and we were very grateful to all who helped out on the day. The Young Farmers worked hard to put on the cream tea, which was delicious and much appreciated. It's jam on cream for me every time!."

Royal Bath & West Show

June 2010

RABI was thrilled to be charity of the show at the Royal Bath & West.  One of the main features of the show was the daily pageant in the main ring.  Expertly organised by Somerset committee member, Robert Mann it contained some 40 'vehicles' ranging from oxen to a top quality state of the art tractor.

This display was a major highlight each day and very well received by the viewing public.  A huge thank you must go to Robert and all the people who gave up their time and brought their 'vehicles' along for the duration of the show.
