Our chair TH used the timely theme of Christmas and amused us with some
amazing facts and figures as fill-in material.

Introductions were to the question: ‘What do you like about Christmas?’

A big welcome to our guest LH. We hope he enjoyed the evening and we
look forward to seeing him again.

For our inspiration, LG read the uplifting poem by Edgar Guest
‘Have you Earned Your tomorrow?’
