A GROUP of female swimmers held a tea party to rival that of the Mad Hatter and March Hare when they enjoyed a cuppa in Tadcaster Swimming Pool.
The women held the event following an exhausting aqua-aerobics session to raise money for York's St Leonard's Hospice.
About 20 women joined the session with a further ten coming along afterwards to enjoy a cup of Earl Grey and a cake or two.
Organiser Mary Collier said: "It went very, very well and the girls had a great time.
"We raised about £70 in total. My husband dug up a load of new potatoes from our garden in the morning so people took a few home in return for a donation."
A further £70 was raised earlier in the week when the women took part in a sponsored exercise at the pool.
