The Coffee Crew

Date published: 05 November 2009

Students in Dovestones organised a coffee morning last week to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Research.

The students sold filtered coffee, tea, juice, toast and crumpets to customers, who were all very pleased with the service. This included the Principal, Peter Ryder, who had coffee and toast and said “The hot chocolate with all the trimmings looked great”. 

The students also held a raffle with prizes including a huge British bulldog, cosmetics, a designer handbag and lots of runner up prizes. 

In total the students raised £74.90 for Macmillan Cancer Research.

A spokesperson for Dovestones said: "The coffee morning proved to be a good practice session for the future Dovestones Café and highlighted the improvements the students could make to ensure smooth running of their service for the future."
