Refreshment Break
We started our break early so that members could have a good old natter and enjoy a variety of seasonal food and drink that had been brought in by members. The red and white wine was well received and the bottles were pretty much empty by the end of the afternoon. Thanks to everyone for making this a successful and cheerful event. Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year were exchanged by everyone.
