Macmillan Sale and Coffee Morning
When, over dinner with friends, Pam Richardson, Treasurer of Brentford Dock Residents’ Association, said “If I organise a Macmillan Coffee Morning will you help me?”, little did she know what she was starting! Seven years on, over £7,000 has been raised. In 2007, again over dinner, two of Pam’s friends, Paul Donaldson and Tony Moore, said “We will organise a sale the week before the Coffee Morning and give the proceeds to Macmillan”, The Sale, like the Coffee Morning, has now become an established part of life on Brentford Dock, and so far has raised over £2,700. Pam’s particular interest in Macmillan is as a result of her own experience with ovarian cancer. She is extremely thankful for her recovery which means she is fit enough, with the help of her friends at Brentford Dock, to organise the Coffee Morning.
This year’s Sale will be held in the Dock Residents’ Clubroom, 1, Augustus Close, Brentford Dock, on Saturday, 19 September, from 10 a.m, to 2 p.m.
