A celebrity was invited to a lunch for 163 guests to raise money for a children’s charity.
Dame Jenni Murray was invited to Shenley Cricket Centre on June 29 by Elstree and Borehamwood NSPCC.
The Mayor and Mayoress of Borehamwood Cllr Clive Butchins and Elaine Butchins were invited as guests of honour.
Ann Goddard, of the Elstree and Borehamwood NSPCC, said: “Dame Jenni entertained us with a very amusing account of life on BBC Woman’s Hour causing much mirth and making many converts to the programme.”
The event raised more than £4,920 for the NSPCC which was a record result for the committee.
