If the members of the club were closet fans of Enid Blyton then it showed on Tuesday as we held our end of session cum Christmas party. The table fair “groaned” with food - from Estonian chocolate to wickedly sharp chilli crisps, from the tried and trusted sausage rolls to Lorna’s sumptuous raspberry sponge, it was a delight. We entertained ourselves with a mixture of Christmas limericks and haikus which ranged from the serious to the comical and Irene produced a cruelly tough quiz and she wasn’t taking any prisoners when it came to the marking. There was the customary exchange of secret Christmas cards, a reading of Carol Ann Duffy’s interpretation of “A Christmas Carol” and the entire atmosphere was one of warmth and jollity among friends. Highlight of the afternoon was the reading of some of Kate Gordon’s seasonal poetry and we will hopefully welcome her for a visit sometime in the Spring. Until then a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our members both current, postal and past or, as we say in Wales nadolig llawen a blwyddyn newydd dda!
