Lilian and Peter Skilbeck and family will once again be holding their popular Biggest Morning Tea fundraising event at Plaistow just outside Newstead tomorrow, Thursday May 19.

Cancer in its many forms never ceases. Every family can recall numerous experiences with cancer, many with fatal endings but as a result of your donations funding critical research many more people are surviving to live normal lives. All funds raised at Plaistow are sent direct to the Cancer Council.

From 10am there will be scones freshly cooked, bottomless tea and coffee, stalls with plants, quality knitting and handcrafts and continuous music from the Maldon based Platform Souls. Other musicians are welcome to bring their instruments and join in. Raffles will be drawn at the end of the morning.

After such a long dry summer the gardens are not looking too bad. All are welcome to come, friends and neighbours, those looking to support cancer research and those who wish to see the outside of this heritage listed 1840’s homestead or just to have a social morning in a pleasant garden setting with great views towards Cairn Curran. 

If anyone would like to help the Skilbeck family during the morning your help would be appreciated. If you wish to donate on line https://www.biggestmorningtea.com.au/s/1610/44323/s

Entry is by donation.

Time: 10am till midday
