Our annual Midsummer celebration at the Royal Brussels Cricket Club near Lasne-Ohain took place on Saturday 25 June and was a great success. Thanks to the RBCC 'micro climate' we were fortunate to miss the worst of the Belgian summer weather and well over EUR 1 000 was raised for our charities.
The outdoor get-together was centred around a live cricket match between a team from SHAPE and the UK Embassy. Seasonal refreshments including a BBQ, tea and cake, and of course Tim’s Pimms, G&Ts and non-alcoholic cocktails were available all afternoon. In addition, drinks were available from the club bar.
In addition a prize was held and traditional children’s games organised. In honour of the Platinum Jubilee this year a royal theme featured throughout the family-friendly event.
All proceeds from the event will go to BBCA constituent charities: the Community Help Service, the British Charitable Fund, the Brussels Branch of the Royal British Legion and The Wednesday Club.
