It was Christmas Dinner time again on Saturday
evening as fifty six members and guests, same number as last year, sat down to eat at 8:00pm.
The evening started with a welcome from
our chairman Mike Cottell who also pointed out a giant Christmas
card
which Brenda had brought along. The idea was for people during the
evening to write a Christmas greeting in the card and make a
donation to Demelza House children's hospice, this raised a very
pleasing £80. Thank you to all those who donated so generously to
what is a very worthy cause.
The meal was then served by our normal caterers H & J Boulton
catering services from Sheerness. Starting with soup followed
by a roast turkey main course then Christmas pudding with white
sauce finishing on mince pies, satsumas, mints, cheese board and
coffee or tea. An enjoyable meal, again well prepared and served
efficiently by Harry and his team. It was great to look around at the tables seeing
everybody chatting away and having a good time helped along by Phil with
his music.
See bottom of page for video clip details.
We then had a break for the raffle with
Phil calling out the numbers as they were drawn. After the lucky
winners had collected their prizes Phil continued with his excellent
entertainment.
  Some dancers emerged on to the floor while others busied themselves
making a dog from a cork or took on a particularly
'glazed' look!
A big
thank you to those that organised the event and to all of you for
coming.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year.

taken during the evening. It is in low resolution to minimise download
time, even so the file size is 10mb and is only suitable for broadband
users (download less than 30secs).
Dial up users can down load a
lower still resolution version but it
is still about 4mb with an estimate of about 24 mins to download on a 56k modem.
