Past Events

The Tracy Trust Coronation Lunch

​Saturday 6th May 2023 will remain in the memories of all who celebrated the crowning of our new King: Charles III.
The Tracy Trust marked the momentous occasion by gathering in the Memorial Hall for a live screening of the event,
​followed by a delicious lunch.
Despite the number of people present, you could have heard a pin drop during the transmission of the service from Westminster Abbey, such was the rapt attention of the participants, although they certainly increased the volume over lunch! King prawns, Coronation chicken and King Charles Coronation quiche were all on the menu; desserts were colour themed – yes, you guessed it: red, white and blue!
The photos below give a flavour of the enjoyment had by all who attended.

Tea and Film Afternoon

THE TRACY TRUST FILM AND TEA / CAKE AFTERNOON
 
Following our successful film and tea afternoon in October last year, the Tracy Trust invited its members to a similar event on Valentine’s Day 2023.
​

The film “Mrs Harris Goes to Paris” was thoroughly enjoyed by all attendees, who also savoured a great variety of delicious homemade cakes.


The Tracy Trust will hold another Film and Tea/Cake Afternoon in the summer this year.
​Please check this website nearer the time.

The Tracy Trust Platinum Jubilee Tea Party

​Friday 3rd June 2022 saw one of the highlights in the Hedgerley calendar of Platinum Jubilee events: the Tracy Trust Tea Party. The Scout Hut was transformed into a patriotic pageant of red, white and blue, as over sixty Tracy Trust members and friends came together to mark her Majesty the Queen’s seventy years on the throne. Elizabeth II was toasted at the start of the proceedings and guests sung the National Anthem. Then they were treated to a delicious afternoon tea, courtesy of Ann Tennant. What excitement when the Platinum Jubilee Pudding itself was produced and all got to taste the prize-winning recipe; Ann told us that the zest and juice of twenty lemons went into its making.
Louise Goodridge provided tuneful entertainment both as a soloist singer and conductor of the Thursday morning Tracy Trust singing class, members of which sung a medley from the musicals. The communal singing proved to be very popular as songs from the decades in which the Queen has reigned were sung with gusto by all and resounded out in the heart of Hedgerley.

Ice Cream Wednesday  August 2021

Another successful Ice Cream afternoon was enjoyed by the Tracy Trust members this summer.
 Mr Nice Cream delighted with his array of ​delicious ice creams, topping and sauces.
There are more pictures of this event in the Gallery.

Ice Cream Sundae   August 2020

Sixty-three ice creams from a very nice Mr Whippy were consumed on the Green in Hedgerley, with one or two being whisked off to members' houses.
Jackie Phillips, professional cellist living in Hedgerley, played for us, while many sat around on socially distanced chairs to enjoy the occasion. It would not have been England if we were not troubled by a passing shower, but umbrellas were produced from nowhere and brief shelter was sought under the trees! All deemed the ice cream to be delicious, the selection was mind blowing, with a dazzling array of sprinkles, toppings and sauces! For many, it made for a Sunday with a difference.
 
​One comment from our members about the Ice Cream Sundae says it all:
' Wow! That was the biggest and most enjoyable ice cream we ever tasted in our lives, thank you!'


Fish and Chips July 2020
The Tracy Trust had its first Fish and Chips event on the Green in Hedgerley in July 2020

30th Anniversary Lunch   October 2019

The Tracy Trust 30th Anniversary Party
Around sixty Tracy Trust members, committee members and trustees gathered together in the Hedgerley Scout Hut on a rather wet October Saturday to celebrate the 30th year of The Tracy Trust. But despite the weather, the atmosphere inside the venue could not have been warmer. The hut had been transformed with bunting and flowers!
The Chairman welcomed the attendees, made a toast to Edith Tracy and then everyone settled down to a wonderful lunch provided by Ann Tennant and her catering team. Ken Maycock had the honour of cutting the anniversary cake.
After lunch there was musical entertainment from the Davenies School Hand Bells Group. Their teacher Margot Rusmanis invited Tracy Trust members to join in and several brave individuals rang the bells to produce the Sound of Music favourite ‘Edelweiss’. Margot had brought her violin with her and treated the assembled to two beautiful musical pieces. As a memento of the occasion everyone was given a booklet on Edith Tracy put together especially for the anniversary.
