46 of our members had a wonderful ‘home grown’ Christmas party this year. We changed our table arrangement from previous years, with more of a ‘street party’ feel to it and more space for entertainment. Our members were welcomed with a glass of fruit punch or wine. Our local dance group from The Dyas Lishman Dance Academy opened our event with a short but very entertaining performance.
Instead of exchanging presents members were asked to bring along a donation to the Northwich Food Bank – they were extremely generous and the table was filled to overflowing with their gifts.
Pat S, with a little help from the committee, produced a delicious buffet supper for us. Our committee performed a short pantomime of Cinderella and we then played the inevitable ‘party games’. Good fun was had by all, before we finished the party with ‘Auld Lang Syne. Members each took home a primula plant for their garden/home, thanks to Annette for arranging this. A very enjoyable way to celebrate our friendship.
