Well done and thanks to the Ladies of the Soroptimists International of Dewsbury!
TB Alert has taken a couple of years off from organising our Ladies who Lunch event in London, so we were delighted that the Dewsbury Soroptimists, whose President has chosen TB Alert as her Charity of the Year, decided to take up the challenge.
The Dewsbury Ladies dressed up to the nines, and walked at a ladylike pace to one of their allotments where Pimms and canapes were served by gentleman volunteers.
After the day was over the ladies retired to a local restaurant for more eating and drinking. We understand a lovely day was had by all - the sun shone, and the ladies have raised over £600 and still counting - well done!

The motto of Ladies Who Lunch. "I don't DO running!". |

|
Ladies gather at the start.... |
|
| |
|
 |
And they're off!

| |
|
It's Pimms O'Clock!

The day ends with a special birthday presentation to a very special lady in whose honour the walk was arranged. |

Our thanks to everyone who helped make the day a resounding success - the walkers, volunteers and of course their generous sponsors.
Particular thanks to President and TB Alert Supporter Kate Currie for choosing TB Alert as her President's Charity, and for organising the day.
If you would like to organise a Ladies who Lunch event of your own, please let us know by emailing our Fundraiser. We can supply badges for ladies and gentleman waiters, sponsor forms and ideas and guidelines on how to make the day a fun one for all concerned. |
