Despite cold, wet weather we had a great turnout for our Christmas Party Night. It was good to welcome so many of our friends from the Hospital too. We had a couple visiting Headcases for the first time – in at the deep end you might say!
Thank you all for the amazing quantity and variety of raffle prizes. In all, the Raffle took well over an hour to complete. Our thanks to Bob from the Legion for officiating on the Raffle, and calling the traditional pre-buffet Bingo games.
Wendy provided some fabulous ceramics for prizes, including a 12 piece Portmeiron set which we decided to auction. This raised £55.00 and together with the raffle tickets raised well over £200 for Headcases funds. Exact figures pending, as we need to deduct catering and Bingo prizes.
Here’s some photos of the evening showing the Raffle prizes, the Buffet and the folk enjoying proceedings. It was one of the latest finishes I can remember, with the last of us leaving after 11.00 pm!
Our thoughts and best wishes go out to our friends who were too poorly to come along last night.
A Merry Christmas, and a healthy, happy New Year to all. See you at our February meeting. Don’t forget we skip the January meeting.
