Our Valentine Afternoon Tea held on Tuesday 12th February was great fun and enjoyed by all. Lots of sand- wiches, cakes and speciality teas helped to create a very relaxed atmosphere with lots of time to chat. A total of £82 was raised on the day—my thanks to all who contribut- ed and came along.

9 Lenzie Action Group

The Group held its annual lunch on 24th January 2013 in Lenzie Un- ion’s New Hall. This was a time to celebrate the achievements of the Group and to announce the winner of the Annual Quiz (fiendishly dif- ficult as usual!) The first prize went to Alice McKenzie (on the left of the picture here with Lorna Hall, the Group’s Convenor). After a simple but hearty lunch, we were entertained by pupils from Lenzie Primary, first on the piano and then in a variety of singing and dancing turns—the girls in the kilts doing a particularly tongue-twisting and rapid action song! The youngest group also sang well or at least the two who succeeded in hanging on to the micro- phones did—stars of the future? A big thank you goes to Lorna and the team of helpers who served and to the pupils and teachers at Lenzie Primary for entertaining us so well.
