It was festive cheer all round at the December meeting. The committee had trimmed the hall with holly, candles, a tree, and lots of sparkly decorations. The “bring and buy” was full of Christmas things. And three ladies from the Windmill Ringers wove their magic, creating Christmas tunes by intricately ringing their 29 very shiny bells. We all sang along. It felt like the start of the festive season.

Mulled wine and savouries started off the proceedings, and tea and mince pies concluded the afternoon.

We chose the Christmas lunch; had fun with the Christmas quiz; and marvelled at the competition Christmas crackers; and generally revelled in a sense of festive well being, leaving for home looking forward to the year ahead.
