The Mothers' Union's annual fish-and-chips fundraising lunch for the 'Away From It All' (AFIA) programme took place on Saturday, 4th March. About 60 people enjoyed fish and chips from J. Henry's in Hedge End, as well as ice cream sundaes, traditional bread and butter and cups of tea. Sea songs were played in the background and the Underhill Centre Main Hall was festooned with bunting, all of which made a very early spring day seem like the height of British summer. 440 pounds profit was realised for the charity.
