Pippa and Ian hosted an Open House day for
Pageant members between 10 am and 4 pm on Sunday 20 July. This was
well attended. A buffet lunch was provided, with many of the dishes
brought by members. A nominal charge of £5 per head was made, with
proceeds going towards Bakary Congira's studies.
These are some photographs below.
