Christmas jumpers, coffee, cakes and crackers...

This report (italics) was kindly supplied by Simon Hamer, our Chairman.

"Hello everyone.

This Wednesday morning, over 40 Xmas jumper clad folk gathered for our festive Christmas coffee morning, I’d like to extend a warm thank you to all who made this event possible.

The Christmas coffee morning wouldn't be complete without it's Christmas tree.

A celebration of Christmas jumpers.

A special word of appreciation goes to those who baked the delicious cakes and made the tea and coffee - your time and effort are truly the heart of our club. It’s your generosity and community spirit that make occasions like this so enjoyable.

Our President proposes a vote of thanks to "the ladies who cater".

Thanks also to Santa for taking time out of his busy schedule to visit us and share his chocolates.

I must admit, we were slightly concerned with the amount of weight he’s lost since last year, but we have faith that he will be cuddly once more following the festivities!

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

Santa takes a brief rest before returning to his global responsibilities.
