PERSHORE WI celebrated the festive season with a social evening at our December meeting. We had been asked to bring a plate of food to share, and this produced a delicious and varied feast for everyone to enjoy. While enjoying our food we were given quiz sheets, and much fun was had attempting to solve the clues to various Christmas songs and carols. Little did we realise that once the food was eaten we would have to sing the answers!

This was followed by other games including Pass the Parcel and Charades. The competition for December was a homemade table decoration. Janet Arnold was first, followed by Viv Breed in second place and Angela Bilboa third. The overall winner of the competitions for the year was Jean O’Loughlin, with Angela Bilboa in second place and Elizabeth Kearney third.

Audrey Whitehouse gave out a few announcements about activities for next year before wishing everyone a happy Christmas. It was a very enjoyable evening to end 2015 and we are all looking forward to 2016, in which we will celebrate our centenary. There is a lot planned for next year, so if you are interested in joining us please come along to our first meeting of the new year, which is on Thursday, January 14 at 7.30pm in the Wulstan Hall, Priest Lane.
