Hello Everyone
This time we are gathering for a Christmas Powwow! Keeping up with the tradition, we will also have Secret Santa and the plan is to exchange some small presents (just something fun and not costing more than £5) at around 3pm. If you would like to join in, please do not come later than 3pm and bring a small, wrapped gift with you. All goodies will be placed in a bag and drawn at random.

You are also welcome to bring biscuits, cake or something Christmasy to eat to get us into the spirit. The pub has kindly agreed to provide some tea and coffee.

Thank you - a good one Dec 16, 2008

Although fewer people came than to the previous December meetings, it was still a good one. A good venue: not too noisy, chairs, table, easy to find. Thanks to Katharina and best wishes to everybody.
