Flower Festival
The 2010 Flower Festival has now taken place and again a very good show was put on at Mt Carmel. This was all the more remarkable because of the absence over the final week of Marjorie after her car accident. However plans were well advanced and her team did her proud.
The theme this year was the 1940's and Mt Carmel majored on the contrast between war and peace and also entered into the spirit with a street party on the Saturday evening. At the close of the festival on Sunday a "Songs of Praise" style service with hymns and choruses popular in the 40's was held and it was good to see visitors joining us for that.
The Charity that was supported this year was "Help for Heroes" and in addition to general collection boxes a book of recipes from the time of rationing was prepared and donations of £1 suggested. A total of £400 was collected.
