THE CHRISTMAS LUNCH !! 
What a finale for the year’s activities! This year’s Christmas lunch was such an enjoyable occasion, and thanks to the efforts of so many, I will claim it as the best yet.
As in the past couple of years, the funds raised by the winter soup days were applied to the lunch. Sue, Kari (and I), along with a number of other willing volunteers, made and served very welcome hot lunches in the cold months. Thanks to all involved with this part of the story. So then we come to the 8th of December, 2025.
Thanks to Kari, Mariann, Pauline, Cecilie, Ann-Marie, Chris, Sue, Julia, Karen, Jill, and Helen who sewed new tablecloths, made the fabulous table decorations, made the wonderful dessert offerings, served the food and cleaned up afterwards. You all deserve a medal! The choir’s contribution to the Christmas spirit was, as always, a highlight. Then there were the teams of willing workers who set up the tables and chairs (and put them away again) and the generous donors who provided the contents of the hampers. Together we saw out the Club year in style.
I would like to wish all members, their families and loved ones, a safe and peaceful Christmas and good health and prosperity in 2026.
