 enjoying the food, the drink and the company in a beautiful garden
A lovely afternoon in the garden - our summer jazz party on 23 June 2019 By the skin of our teeth the rain held off, and we had another very successful jazz garden party. There were 85 or so guests, old and new neighbours. For the first time, we gathered in John and Nickie Clarkes’ lovely garden, with perfect music. Drinks were planned by Maurice, food again expertly organised by Carol with support from Vanessa. We raised £110 for the Chamwell Centre - a cause close to the heart of Marie Owen. This seemed fitting as we had held our previous parties in Roger and Marie's garden, and Marie kindly loaned us the large tent to cover yards of food. |

Another memorable SPJARA summer jazz evening
Once again we had a great evening on Friday, 7 July 2017. A warm evening too. Thanks once more to Roger and Marie Owen for the use of their beautiful garden, to Maurice and Carol for organising the excellent food and wine, and to the Kim Cypher Trio (ably assisted by Ashley) for great music. The raffle was in aid of the Chamwell Centre in Gloucester, helping provide new facilities for disabled children.
A few pictures below.

2016 Summer Jazz Garden Party- funds raised for charity
Once again, we held a very successful event in Roger and Marie Owen’s lovely garden on a warm summer's evening on 8 July. There were about 70 people there. Excellent music by the Patsy Gamble Duo. Good food and lots of wine. A memorable occasion that brought the community together. And we raised funds for the Chamwell centre for disabled children in Gloucestershire to be used towards the costs of a hydrotherapy facility.
