THE last meeting of the year was a members’ only Christmas Party at the Village Hall on December 3. Starting the evening with a delicious glass of mulled wine prepared by Anne, almost a full turnout of members enjoyed a social evening of games and quizzes, including Smite and bingo. A selection of nibbles was enjoyed throughout the evening and we finished with teas and coffees and a slice of a snowman cake made by Alex. As well as prizes for the games and some wonderful raffle prizes, each member was presented with a small gift so no-one went home empty handed. It was lovely evening on which to end our year.

We did discuss a small amount of business, mainly to remind members about the Xmas Lunch at the Bell on Tuesday, December 9 and also to update them on our first two skittle matches (we lost!).

Members were reminded that our next meeting on January 7 will be an evening with Paul Harding to “Discover History”. Subscriptions of £36 will also be due.
