As we do not have a December meeting, we like to make our last meeting of the year a bit special, so we have a "chat n chew" day with round tables, mince pies, shortbread and chissy cake. We had a huge raffle, and this year we had a mini-auction which raised approx $300 for our community gifting program.
To entertain the troops, Dick dressed as Father Christmas and treated his three unruly children, Win, Carol and Eileen as baby to a reading of The Night before Christmas.
Needless to say, the naughty children interrupted Father Christmas, argued and generally made heaps of unnecessary noise -- really would not have been tolerated in
my day.
Later, we had a Carol's singsong.
