Gemma Broughton, from MHA Communities South Leeds, has shared some photos of their VE Day celebrations. The Connie Crafters group, who meet on the third Wednesday of the month, made some fantastic post box toppers which were put up around Beeston earlier this week.
“We also had our monthly social group meeting on Wednesday (7 May) at South Leeds Conservative Club” explained Gemma. “We had corned beef hash, a brilliant singer and lots of laughs. Everyone did fantastic getting into the spirits with their outfits!
“Then we had our Thursday lunch club, followed by our VE Day celebrations at St Andrew’s community centre. We had volunteers from GTC with us all day to help out and they were fantastic! Lunch was a beef dinner followed by VE day singalong with our volunteer pianist. Everyone joined in with lots of singing and we had tea and cake. It was a very enjoyable afternoon.”
