Macmillan Coffee Morning

WORLD'S BIGGEST COFFEE MORNING

The Smart Marketing girls brought in home-made cakes on Friday 26th September for our @macmillancoffee morning, to raise vital funds for people living with cancer. It was a great excuse for us to get together with family and friends, as well as chat to some of our neighbours from other local businesses. We had fruit cake, Danish pastries, chocolate fudge cake, mint chocolate cupcakes and lemon & white chocolate cupcakes to tempt the taste buds. The morning was very enjoyable and a great success, and with a couple of competitions and a raffle, we raised an amazing £170!
