Everyone was entertained by a rousing performance by the Lammas Bell ringers of Godalming as well as an outstanding performance by The Choir from St Nicholas C of E School, Cranleigh.
Taking a chance during the break from the rain, many guests collected outside to launch a host of balloons into the Cranleigh sky.
Each balloon was purchased and the total amounted to over £250 which will be donated to Alzheimer’s Society.
New Manager, Nyms Sithole, witnessing her first event at Cedar Court, said: “Everyone who came along had a smile on their face.
