The annual Macmillan Cancer Support’s World’s Biggest Coffee Morning took place on Friday at a number of venues across Guildford.

At the Macmillan coffee morning held at Guildford’s Holiday Inn, from left: the team vicar of St Clare’s Church, Park Barn, the Rev’d Steve Pownall; Gilliam James, Guildford MP Anne Milton; and Shirley West.

A fantastic £1,065 was raised at the Holiday Inn at a coffee morning hosted by the Mayor of Guildford, Diana Lockyer-Nibbs, with a visit from Guildford MP Anne Milton. The organisers, Nerina King, Shirley West and Rachael Shaw were delighted with the total raised. Rachael works at the Spirit health club within the hotel and is a cancer rehab specialist

Nerina said: “We had more than 250 people come along who enjoyed coffee and cakes. There were about 80 prizes in the raffle. We would like to thank all those who helped out during the morning including the Holiday Inn’s operations manager Nick Ariftodemou.

A smaller, but no less important coffee morning, took place at the monthly get together of the Tea Dance or Not To Dance social group that meets at Stoughton Methodist Church Hall.

The annual event raises millions of pounds for the charity Macmillan, which supports people with cancer.

Last year’s coffee morning raised £15 million from across the UK.
