Christmas Meeting 2017

This was our last meeting before Christmas and so we all arrived with our contribution to the Jacob's Join, a dandy bird for the competition and a present for Secret Santa. The morning was bitterly cold and it had been a severe overnight frost making everywhere look very Christmassy.

 We used the upstairs room which is warmer than our usual room and more cosy.
Our first task was to make a party hat for our Jacob's Join and you can see some of the efforts below which caused much hilarity in the making and trying on.

 The entries for the competition featuring Dandy Birds were set out and numbered. We then voted for our favourite which was very difficult as they were all so good.

There was a wonderful spread of food set out in the kitchen and it was hard to choose what to eat as it all looked so good, so we tended to have a little bit of everything!
Once we had eaten our fill and caught up on news it was time to draw the Secret Santa.

 We then wished everyone a Happy Christmas and set off for our homes full of food,Christmas good cheer and our present from the Secret Santa. It was a good day and thanks go to Joanna for organizing it.
 Happy Christmas to all our members!
