It's that time of year again and the annual Guildford Catenians BBQ was held at St Edward's Church on Sunday 2 July. Willing brothers helped erect the Marquee on the Saturday so everything was ready for a 1.00 pm start on the Sunday.
As well as family and friends, Guests included the Clergy: Mgr Canon Tony Barry; Fr Roy Waters; Fr Tristan Cranfield, 4th Year Seminarian Scott Colman and Deacon Ian Hunt and his wife Sandy who is the Guildford Parish Secretary. Also present was Jenny Finlayson, Community Participation Co-ordinator for CAFOD Arundel & Brighton Diocese.
The ladies who laboured in the kitchen preparing and serving the food deserve a special mention. They were: Ella Rogers; Susan Bignell; Beth & Rebecca Shaw; Anna Lintott and her mum Snjezana. Musical entertainment was provided by Anthony and Domitille Johnson members of the Farnham based Arc Band.
The weather, a mixture of sun and cloud, remained dry throughout and, under the auspices of Vice-President Bro. Pat Finn, a good time was had by all! See below photographs taken by photographer of the day, Bro. Steve Rowden.
