Extra Time Out for Women

Extra Time-out is a group of women from St. Michaels, who primarily meet in the Kepier Hall on the last Thursday of each month. We offer support and companionship to each other through a variety of activities.

Extra Time Out at the Pancake House

We were picked up from Houghton Church around 6:30 by a pre-arranged mini-bus. There were around 16 of us, all looking forward to the meal (most with a bottle in hand).

We arrived at our destination – The Pancake House in Durham at 7:00. At this point, I must admit that I arrived late (I had already attended an earlier 1st birthday party), so I missed the greetings. The girls were already tucking into the wine and we selected our first course of pancakes.

I picked a pancake stuffed with mushroom, spinach and some kind of cheese that I definitely can’t either spell or pronounce. The first course was delicious.

Surprisingly, the sweet was also pancakes, of which there was a choice of 4 (yes, 4!) different sweet concoctions all of which sounded absolutely delicious, or a scone selection.

Tea or coffee was available for those who had to drive or had run out of wine…

A thoroughly enjoyable evening was had by all. Good food, wine and company in a restaurant all to ourselves. What more could you ask for?

Thanks to Sheila, Karen and Dawn for organising the evening, I’m sure I am not the only one looking forward to the next time.

Looking to the future, our group will be offering fund-raising activities at our Summer Fair (Kepier Hall, behind the Church) to be held on Saturday, 9th June from 10am – 2pm. Please come and meet our group there and hear about our future meetings.

And here we are in the kepier at the last Summer Fair persuading passers by to part with their cash in a good cause!

We would encourage any new member to join us, perhaps ring Lynn or any members known to you first to check the agenda and confirm where our group is meeting.
