What a great night we had at our meeting this week, celebrating Christmas in July in style.
Bob and Vicki, our caterers, did an amazing job setting up the room with all things Christmassy and, once again, they served up a delicious traditional Christmas meal, complete with turkey, pork and ham with all the trimmings! The sharing of those terrible Xmas jokes and riddles that were in the bon-bons was hilarious!
A couple of rounds of Christmas trivia had everyone’s brains working overtime. It’s hard to believe that not everyone remembers the names of all of Santa’s reindeer or how many birds are mentioned in the song ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’. And who would have thought that only one person in the room (great work Kate Gordyn) would have known that it was a Christmas tree, displayed in Trafalgar Square, that the Norwegian City of Oslo have given to the people of Britain each year at Christmas since 1947. This piece of knowledge alone lead to her team taking out the overall winner’s prize for the evening. This was the lucky table to be sitting on, as John Rosenthal, also a member of this table, won the prize for best dressed…loved the tie John!
Santa (AKA David Nutter) took time away from the North Pole (even though I don’t imagine he noticed much difference in the temperature at the moment) to spread some Christmas cheer, a little bit of cheekiness and some special chocolate treats.
The evening was finished off with our stand in sergeant, Laury Gordyn, playing a round of ‘heads and tails’ which saw one very happy Jeannette Blackwood take home a nice bottle of red!
A few reminders about the two BBQ’s which we have on this weekend and an announcement that Joker’s Wild will be back as of next week (complete with that famous bum-bag…so don’t forget to bring some cash!), brought the evening to a close.
Thank you to everyone who came along and supported this evening.
