2022 Christmas Dinner Dance
Christmas celebrations started early with the Dinner Dance this Saturday 3 Dec. A fantastic turnout of 75 attended the party at Betchwork Park Golf Club, who have hosted us warmly for the last few years. As always the 3 course buffet style Christmas food was excellent and a great choice for all tastes and appetites. The evening started with a glass of bubbly on arrival and then a quick check on the seating plan to see who we had as company for the night. Groups, couples and singles were all made welcome - this is an inclusive club and everyone was partnered up on a like minded table. Marilyn and Vicky had organised everything expertly - spending many months getting things right so that the party went smoothly - thanks again to both for their dedication and resilience.
David as our new President gave a short welcome to everyone and let the feasting begin. Tables were called individually to efficiently choose their food - so no long queues - and there really was a big spread. There was a great atmosphere for the whole evening as people caught up with others now that the season had ended and amusement at some of the outfits (Kevin's is just one example). The cracker jokes were up to their usual cheesy standard but there were a few funny anecdotes around the tables to make up for them.
Then it was time for the raffle and what a huge selection there was - thanks to all who donated prizes - there was almost a prize for everyone. Eventually we got on to the disco dancing and we were lucky enough to prise our Graham away from the Ibiza party island to be our DJ for the night. He knew how to get the floor filled with some real classic golden oldies (like most of us) - and kept the night alive until going home time.
All in all, another very succesful social night that showed how vibrant the Club members are - we are not afraid to enjoy ourselves.
