ODDFELLOWS Concord Branch mounts its annual Friendship Month campaign throughout September.

Branch Secretary Jane Nicole said: “It’s our way of reminding people just how important it is to have the support of friends around you. They really do make the good times better and the hard times easier.

“Friendships often start as a result of sharing a fun experience or by learning something together, so our events hope to provide that opportunity in a really easy, relaxed way.”

A tea party will be held at The Bush Hotel, Farnham, from 2.30pm on Sunday, September 25, which is also open to non-members.

The Oddfellows is also offering a chance to win a luxury afternoon tea for two and £100 spending money in a free prize draw on its campaign website at www.friendshipmonth.com. For more information about the party and society call Jane Nicole on 01276 66868 or email [email protected].
