The Queen celebrates her 90th birthday this month and Social Friends marked this auspicious occasion by hosting a BBQ and picnic by the monument in Ashridge. Despite the damp start to the morning Social Friends members are never put off by a bit of rain and ventured out to set up our BBQ, gazebos and even a tent for the festivities ahead.

​Approximately 50 members attended the day which started at 1pm with the lighting of the bbq and the cooking of some mouth watering burgers, sausages, chicken and salmon. For the vegetarians within the group we also had some tasty meat free options which even caught the eye of some of the meat lovers!

A birthday celebration is never complete without a cake and one of our kind Social Friends member's brought along an awesome birthday cake which prompted the group to sing a rousing few verses of Happy Birthday to the Queen, much to the amusement of passers by!

With tea, coffee and even the odd glass of bubbly flowing the whole event was a major success with most members taking their picnics home, being too full after eating too much BBQ food. The weather was mostly kind to us with only one downpour and we even managed a period of nice warm sunshine before packing up and heading home. See our gallery for more pictures

Dave Mason & Ryan Chandler make up the dynamic duo called 2Tone. This diverse duo are a great favourite with Social Friends specialising in reggae, pop, soul, swing and motown.

Despite the changeable June weather the event was held in a spacious marquee at the rear of the Golden Eagle pub and was very well attended. Being a summer event the pub even laid on a BBQ with some excellent food being served. Always the showmen both Dave and Ryan were a major hit with everyone and all our Social Friends had an awesome evening dancing to many of our best loved tunes and a few we had not heard in a while.

Extremely enjoyable evening and we can’t wait for the next one!!  For more information on joining Social Friends give us a call on 07542 113683 or click here to email us

Wendover Arm Canal Open Day

Social Friends had a lovely afternoon at the Wendover Canal Arm Trust open day. The group were given a guided tour along the tow path on a lovely warm Sunday in June. There wasn’t much wild life to be seen, only the red kites circling overhead. The group did however spot two canoeists having a paddle and admired some of the beautifully decorated barges. 

The group were told that the major piece of new work at the site was at Whitehouses pumping station, which was demolished in 1955. The new installation is covered by grids which allow you to see the sluices below.  A volunteer told how the pumping station had been a refugee site during the war, with Londoners fleeing the blitz and Jewish refugees from Europe. Some of them had returned to give interesting background facts and stories. 
Social friends had a very informative and interesting afternoon thanks to the Wendover Arm Trust volunteers
