Get ready for our Christmas social next week

Posted on by

Get the festive season off to a brilliant start on Wednesday 16 December, 7.30 pm. holly-w500-h500  There’s lots to tell you about:

  • Bring a bottle of your favourite drink (alcoholic, juice, whatever) and glass.  There will be no tea and coffee.
  • If you wish, bring something for the Secret Swap Raffle; something you have made or bought, price limit £3 (no need to giftwrap).  This will go into the raffle and you will be given a ticket in exchange.  Everyone who donates a prize will win something!
  • Dress – wear whatever you like, for instance, ball gown, Christmas jumper, t shirt, onesy  or design and make something whacky.  You can, of course, just come as you are.
  • Food – it’s a sharing (Dutch) supper, so please bring something sweet or savoury to share on the big table.
  • Christmas quiz – have fun with other members on your table to see if you team knows all the answers.
  • Christmas raffle – this will be drawn on the night and there will be 30 lucky winners of the 30 superb prizes, generously donated by local organisations

See you there.

A huge thank you to Marie Kennedy who used her expert craft skills to enable members to produce a unique Christmas picture present.  Marie had prepared packs of materials containing paper leaves, flowers and gift cards, which together with a board and coloured background paper formed the basis of the picture.
