Attention!
Pickering House Summer Fayre
Pickering House Summer Fayre had a succesful summer fayre.
The weather could have been better but there were sunny intervals between the showers and residents and visitors enjoyed the afternoon.
Stalls included hoop-la, a golf game, skittles and the usual cake stall and tombola.
The band of Reigate 135 Squadron Air Cadets performed and gave a marching display.
Local traders donated great raffle prizes and we have raised over £400 for the Charity . There is still time to buy tickets as the raffle will be running for another 2 weeks: please contact the Dorking Office.
Open day
Two ceremonies at an open day in Dorking marked the final stages in the construction of Pickering House..
Canon David Meara, of St Bride's, Fleet Street , dedicated the non-denominational chapel, and Sir Ray Tindle formally opened the bar, which he had generously sponsored with a gift of £25,000.
Afterwards members and guests were entertained to lunch in a marquee on the lawn before being shown around the new care home.
Chairman Robert Warren, thanking Sir Ray for his generosity and the Canon for his service of dedication, said: "We are thrice blessed . Our chapel is dedicated, the bar is officially open - and the weather is perfect."
