Friends of Tenovus Sponsored Walk and Strawberry Tea.

The first Tenovus Sponsored Walk along the Taff Trail was organised in June 1995 and raised £1,371 for the Charity. Since then the event has taken place each summer and the number of walkers has increased every year until, in 2004, over 40 walkers took part and raised the magnificent sum of £3,700. A large proportion of funds raised on each Walk since 1995 has been due to the participation of Mrs Mollie Tilley and the many generous sponsors from her Yoga classes.

Since 2000 the Rector, Rev. B. Barlow has also taken part and the amount raised has been considerably boosted by the very kind support of his parishioners. Many grateful thanks go to them and to all our walkers and their sponsors for the really wonderful support the Friends of Tenovus Group has received.

The Strawberry Tea, organised by Janet Boyce and other Tenovus ladies, as a separate event in 2000, was combined with the Walk in 2001 in order to refresh the walkers and to enable other villagers and friends to enjoy a delicious Tea on the lawn at Christchurch.

We have been very lucky and grateful to have been entertained over the years, at the Strawberry Tea, by the Radyr and Morganstown Mellingriffith Band, the Tongwynlais Brass Band and more recently the Radyr Big Band.

If you would like to help us help Tenovus then join in The Walk, sponsor a walker or come along and enjoy a summer tea and music at Christchurch on the 26th. June. For sponsor forms or tickets for the Tea ( £4 and £2 children under 11) please ring Betty Fitzgerald 20842096
