Our Ruby Doo was “Yabba Dabba Doo”

In a year crammed full of special events to celebrate BBN’s 40th anniversary, the Ruby Doo at Woburn Village Hall was arguably the ‘pick of a great crop’. ~

64 people were offered a choice of  a 13, 8 or 5 mile morning walk or, for those no longer quite so active, just to join us for the food and fun. Whilst old friendships were being rekindled, thanks to Mary and her team, we tucked into a gourmet banquet fit for a king. The numerous delicious cakes, all home made by members had to wait for 2 important events.

First, a ‘not so short’ excellent speech by Norman. It had to be long to even attempt to précis some of the wonderful past events and achievements of the group. So many new and old great Challenge events, successfully run Hundreds, and past birthday parties to name but a few. The honour of cutting our truly amazing 40th cake, made by Mary’s husband Dennis and dcecorated by the two of them, went to our lowest LDWA number member Brian Graves.

Thank you to all the many people who made our party possible, not least the ever hard working BBN Committee, in particular Mary, Sarah, Gill and Terry, the Ruby Doo ‘fab 4’ sub-committee and cake maker Dennis. As BBN chairperson, Terry has been at the helm of this magnificent crew throughout and it cannot be overstated just how many hours, behind the scenes she puts into her role. Thank you to everyone.

It is difficult to put into writing just how good our party was. Perhaps, in the words of the great Yogi Bear “Our Ruby Doo was Yabba Dabba Doo”!
