Eastry Benefice - "Jazz in the Garden"

19 August 2006

This year's "Jazz in the Garden" picnic was a huge success. The Bell King Stompers, consisting of ex-marine bandsmen,  entertained the crowd most excellently from late afternoon into early evening.

Thanks to all those who gave of their time and effort to make the event such a success and, of course to all those who bought tickets; the proceeds of which have made a wonderful contribution to the bell fund.

We must not forget the great sacrifice of Rev. Frank Kent, our Rector, who gave his beard to swell the coffers!
