Jazz in the garden

​The sun shone, the people came, the band played, the garden was beautiful – and we raised some funds. Perfect!  Friends of St Mary’s Adderbury’s annual Jazz in the Garden was back – but this year to the splendid garden of Court End in Manor Road Adderbury. In glorious sunshine, over 150 people enjoyed the brilliant jazz of Dickie White and Friends while numerous more kids explored the depths of the garden.  Plentiful picnics and a drop to drink put people in the mood to donate a record amount for the raffle, and FOSMA were able to raise over £1700 on the day. A huge thank you to everyone who came and gave so generously including sponsorship from Edd Frost and Daughters, to Dickie and Friends for the great music and to our hosts Caroline and Tim Jones.  FOSMA continue to raise money for the upkeep of the fabric of our beautiful St Mary’s church. Our small committee is always looking for a bit more help – nothing too arduous but always good fun for a wonderful cause.
