Bond Head United Church held another Roast Beef dinner on Saturday - once again, at the much larger St. John's Presbyterian Church in Bradford.
It's a tradition that began back when Bond Head United was not handicapped-accessible. The small church now has installed a lift, located at the north entrance, but continues to hold its dinners at St. John's, which has a larger kitchen, and much more room to accommodate the crowds that come out for a great meal of roast beef, mashed potatoes, tunips, vegetables, salad, rolls and home-made pies.
An assembly line of volunteers served up dinner, but diners could choose their own slices of pie, from apple to strawberry-rhubarb, from a dessert table filled end to end.
