The 11 to 13 December 2009 was extremely busy and successful. On Friday evening 44 members were entertained by Pat Halling’s Xmas concert with a  buffet in the interval. Story.

On Sunday there was the annual Cheats Xmas lunch with 59 attendees (43 adults, 16 juniors) sitting down to a 4 course Xmas lunch organised by Tony Hopkins; the largest number we have had. Stories and pictures will be added soon.

    

 The weather was terrible for the working party on Sunday 29 November 2009; cold with torrential rain for much of the day. Considering the bad conditions it was surprising that 26 members turned up to get soaked. The main task was moving everything in the trailer park, strimming it and repacking. Many items were not identified with the owners name, as required by our Rules and Bylaws, and may be disposed off. There is a pile of un-roadworthy trailers under the trees that will be disposed off; if you think you may have something there you need you are advised to remove it as soon as possible. An excellent lunch was provided by Diana Carpenter, Joan Bray, Pat Irving and other helpers. As he couldn’t attend Stuart Schafer strimmed all the bank during the preceding week.

 

The Excellent Annual Dinner on Saturday 21 November 2009 had 46 attendees; there was an unexpected visit by Lord Nelson who had a problem coming to terms with the present day restrictions.

On Saturday 7 November 2009 22 members visited the excellent Fire Works display at Kempton Park in good conditions. Thanks go to Diana & Peter Carpenter, George & Joan Bray and helpers for preparing soup, bread and sausages to warm us up back at Aquarius.
