Tynedale present wrapping

Present-wrapping evening

SI Tynedale contacted the local Women's Refuge organisation and were given the details of the women and children who would be in the refuges over Christmas. Members collected and donated various suitable gifts including toys, books, cosmetics, slippers, and toiletries for children ranging from babies to teenagers and their mothers.
 
They met at a member's house on 20th December where large amounts of wrapping paper, gift tags and sellotape were provided. Each member was given a family or families for which to select and wrap presents. The presents were put into Santa Sacks and delivered to the local organiser the next day.
 
Hostess Jane Hastings provided a buffet and Jo Chexal her now famous sherry trifle, much enjoyed by all. A very worthwhile and enjoyable evening.
