Whitby Regatta, Birthday & Victory Celebrations
Residents and staff, as well as their families and friends, enjoyed a wonderful Summer Party at The Mayfield on Saturday 12 August.
The gathering was to celebrate Whitby Regatta and the 90th birthday of Mayfield resident and Whitby legend Marjory Hart, who used to live on Church Street.
Marjory was absolutely thrilled to celebrate her big milestone with everyone and she had been counting down the days leading up to it. Lots of her family attended, many coming from far afield, and she was given a huge number of presents and a delicious lemon cake made by The Mayfield’s Head Chef.
A big rendition of Happy Birthday was accompanied by Steve Maltby on the piano who was hugely entertaining as ever, playing a range of classic songs which turned into an impromptu sing-along later in the afternoon.
Tobyn Dickinson, CEO of The Mayfield, said, “It was incredibly special to celebrate the Regatta and Marj’s birthday at The Mayfield with everyone. There was a lovely atmosphere, and it was fascinating to hear lots of old Regatta stories and how it has been enjoyed by so many through the generations.”
Preparations for the party took place throughout the week and were very enjoyable. The Mayfield’s residents crafted all sorts of decorations, including bunting and flags. Fresh bouquets of flowers also helped make the care home look magnificent!
There was also some good news received just prior to the event with the grandson of one of The Mayfield’s residents becoming the Under-26 World Bridge Champion! Brenda Thorpe was incredibly proud of Stefan’s achievement at the World Championships in Holland.
Everyone enjoyed delicious food and drinks prepared by the Mayfield’s kitchen team, including Pimm’s and Botham’s French Fancies!
The next day several of The Mayfield’s residents enjoyed the Red Arrow display from the first floor which looks out over Whitby.
