Year End Garden Party 21st June 2017

Ending our COSMO year with a bang!!! It had to be the hottest day of the summer, but we gladly made the trip to Bergisch Gladbach, where one of our long-standing members, Magda, had invited us to her house for a REAL garden party. She had turned 80 in May and wanted to celebrate with all of us. What a fantastic idea! A garden party used to be part of the Cosmo tradition, with strawberries and cream, of course. But for lack of gardens among our members, this tradition had fallen by the wayside. For the past few years we had been having our year-end party at a cafe in Cologne, also with strawberries and cream but not with the casual atmosphere of a real garden party. Each of the members brought some delicious food to Magda’s, drinks were provided by the club, and I must say, a good time was had by all (about 20 members attended). One member even came to the party for a quick visit before her flight that afternoon to Sardinia! A huge thanks to Magda for this delightful afternoon. Here’s hoping we can find more gardens in the future for our end-of-year party.
