It has been somewhat of a tradition that our club do a Mother’s Day High Tea at Yurana for the mothers there. This year there were 27 Women and four Men that attended. As in previous years, fine china cup saucer plates and tiered cake plates were produced by our members, which were loaded with sandwiches, small cakes, hot savouries and beautiful cupcakes .
