A very successful ‘Strawberry Tea’ in the Kilmallie Community Centre in July 2023 was our first real event with the wee hall full and a steady turnover of people enjoying strawberries, cake and craic.  

There were folk there from various churches and none, just a real community get-together.  People are used to attending concerts and the like, then going home, but the purpose of the day was solely to let folk actually speak to each other – quite an innovation these days!

The main organiser and treasurer of the Friends, Norma MacLellan, said; “Folk sat chatting away and enjoying themselves.  There was a lovely warm atmosphere with friendships rekindled.  We appreciate the support from several retailers who donated strawberries and cream.  The car park was full and in terms of outreach, creating a community gathering and fundraising, it was an outstanding success.”
