BVC treat for Over60s

Students from BVC played host to a group of local senior citizens for what is hoped will become an annual celebration.

Members of the Bassingbourn Over60s club were treated to a festive afternoon tea – all made by the Year 9 catering students.

College Captains organised and hosted the event which was supported by a £100 grant from South Cambs County Council’s Community Reach Fund. The students welcomed and chatted to their guests, with entertainment provided by Max Bowen and Freya Jackson.

GCSE catering students, under the guidance of Ms Taylor, made a generous spread including sausage rolls, scones, lemon cake and ginger biscuits.

Daisy Deller, organiser of the Bassingbourn Over60s said:”Thank you to everyone involved. It was a lovely afternoon and the food was smashing. It was a real treat to be invited into the college.”

The event was held in the main hall and also featured a display of archive photographs which sparked many memories of schooldays and friendships from the early days of BVC.
