South Wilts Mencap held their annual summer BBQ at the Salisbury Rugby Club on Friday, July 26.
With more than 150 members and guests attending and a gloriously sunny day, this was an opportunity for the learning disabled community of south Wiltshire to come together for an afternoon of fun and games and dancing.
Among the VIP guest were the Rt Hon John Glen MP and the Right Worshipful the Mayor of the City of Salisbury, Councillor Sven Hocking.
All those attending enjoyed the BBQ and bar provided by the rugby club, games and a tombola and games run by the amazing South Wilts Mencap staff as well as the disco from firm favourite Steve St Claire.
Awards to members and carers were given in memory of two longstanding and stalwart supporters of the society, Betty, Lady Gilbert and Betty Williams along with three ‘unsung heroes’ awards to our amazing volunteers.
