Jingle Bells, Spring Park Smells
Simon laid an egg
Freddy B poured hot tea
Over Mike Shaw’s head
OI!
It’s amazing how quickly the time passes but yes, it was a year ago we last converged on the Garden Rooms of St Augustine’s to celebrate the festive season where Sam treated us to a game of Pictionary (won by the team I was on!) then aided yours truly with the mega easy film quiz (which the team I was formerly on won!). A good time was had by some of us and as with every annual tradition we are doing it again this year.
What treats we have in store for you this year I cannot divulge at this juncture (largely because I don’t know myself) but I can reveal that for the second year Cherie Hamlet-Prince-Of-Denmark will be running her Macmillan Cancer Support charity campaign where we place a seasonal greeting message via a sticker on a Christmas Tree poster then empty our wallets into the collection tin while Cherie holds a Samurai sword to our necks (or in my case, my ankles)!
For those of you inclined you are permitted to bring a wee dram of your own choosing from your own stock (and your own glass, natch) should you be unable to last a couple of hours in our company without touching a drop by kind permission of the Chairman Simon “Snapper” Earwicker. Of course there will be tea and coffee and squash for the hardcore types like me, along with the usual spread of food (and by usual I mean typical of the occasion and not the same one from past years).
So, here’s hoping to see you all on Tuesday 10th for festive fun and frolics! Or not. It’s up to you.
I see
that Lee
says Freddy B
would pour
hot tea
over me.
(I hope that she
won’t agree
Vehemently).
Why
Choose I
I cry.
I think my plight
Was due to ‘light’
Before the end
was nigh.
Sigh.
Reap what you sow Michael, reap what you sow… 😉 😛
Wouldn’t waste Tea
on Thee
for Shaw
MY plight with Light
an oversight
Will ‘man’ the switch no more.
For shore!
Hi
I’d just like to say a big thank you to Sam, Peggy & Ron, Cherie and everyone who helped make the OVFM Christmas Social a feast of fun entertainment and delicious nibbles.
Despite the fog the evening was very well attended and the atmosphere in the hall was toasty warm, cosy and very convivial.
Happy Christmas to you all and see you in the New Year.
Thanks to everyone involved for putting on a fun evening (even though I was in one of my moody zones for the first half) and to Freddy for the lift home! 😉
Have a good Xmas everyone! 🙂
It was a fun evening with a superb buffet table.
Thanks and a merry Christmas to all concerned with the organising.
