December 2025
Ho! Ho! Ho!
My goodness, what a noisy November meeting, chatting, cutting and sticking. Amazing what can be done when given the chance and the idea of course.  A big thank you to Judy whose idea it was and all the other help given in the kitchen, with the raffle, tidying up and much more. Real teamwork.

My main worry is mostly the temperamental sound system. I am up and down those steps like a yo yo.
We welcomed Marga as a visitor.  She is hoping to join us in January.
