Mad Hatters Tea Party

June 24, 2014 By frances

The Venturers, Rovers and 3 scouts held a Mad Hatters Tea Party on the 7th of June 2014 in the scout den. The tea party was a resounding success with over 80 attending on the night. For weeks prior to the event the sections worked together to create large wall decorations, create a tree in the entrance along with key holes on each of the large door ways. Tables were decorated and everyone enjoyed selection of sandwiches along with scrumptious desserts such as cheesecake, pavlova, apple tarts etc. The venturers hope to make this an annual event with a different theme next year.
