Our Christmas party on Sunday 11 November was a great success.  Lots of food, drink and bridge. It was so pleasing to see our room almost filled to capacity with 92 members attending.

You can see some photos here.

We would particularly like to thank Sachiko Carthcart for being the co-organiser. It is not an easy task to self cater for so many people, but it all went smoothly thanks to the help of Sachiko’s daughter, Emma, and Susan Eason’s partner David Le Ban.

Christine Egan desert queen- thank you for providing amazing pavlova and sticky date pudding.

To the special members who baked at home :Kay Armstrong, Beth Randall, Louise Clement and Pam Croft, thank you

To the ever reliable team who consistently put their hands up to help at every event: Rob Scott, Susan Eason, Simon Hunter, Peter Chemello, Bruce Kleem and Jen Ardill. Thank you

The day was directed by Sue Riley in her usual friendly and helpful manner. MC was Rob Scott with John Simmonds making a great trivia master. Thank you all

Finally to all those who stayed behind to help clean up. Thank you so much. This is the time when all we want to do is go home! The Club was left spotless.
