We had a really enjoyable ‘home-grown’ Christmas party, lots of time to chat and socialise. Forty-five of our members were welcomed with Christmas music and served a drink of wine or fruit punch. The tables were beautifully decorated with an arrangement of ‘Christmas wrapped’ pansies, one for each guest to take home with them, all sorted by Annette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delicious food was prepared and served by Pat and her team of helpers \u2013 locally baked quiches with ham, eggs and salad, followed by mince pies made by our members and mini fruit kebabs. Our meal was followed by different games \u2013 a fun quiz (no knowledge required!), a snowman drive (a change from beetles), and feely bags made up by Ann O’B.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Norah and Joyce judged the competition for ‘A Christmas Star’, won by Anne Toll ,and there was a free raffle with lovely prizes. Melanie was presented with a gift to thank her for all she has done as President over the last 3 years \u2013 she’s done an amazing job. We finished with a rendition of ‘Auld Lang Syne’, managing to manoevre our way into one large circle. Many members had brought along gifts for our local Food Bank which were much appreciated.<\/p>\n<\/div>
