Christmas Do!

On 13th December the PCRG had our Christmas get together. It was a fresh crisp evening and many members walked to our chosen selected hostelry situated up a desceptively steep hill a short distance from Poet's Corner.

We arrived at our reserved table where some members were already engaged in the evenings activity of supping wine and interesting conversation. All members (even our 'virtual member' )were present and our table soon filled the room with intelligent conversation, argument and laughter (some louder than others) which was only briefly interrupted when ordering or eating.

Cathrine one of our Founder members had the brilliant idea of providing 'gifts' of books where she had trawled the charity shops for some good titles at no more than one pound. With help, wrapped the 'gifts' for a lucky dip. Each member selected their book and after unwrapping a fruitful exchange of comments on the titles and even the books themselves followed. A brilliant idea and wonderful surprise!

We talked, debated but most importantly laughed throughout the evening and into the next day and were true to form, last to leave the venue! We are all looking forward to the next year's meetings and Christmas DO!.

Blog postscript: I expect you are wondering why there has been such a big gap in these posts and it is now nearing the end of February and we are still writing about December. We have had a bit of a hiccup in our communication strategy which has now been rectified so these posts will fall back into 'sync' for next meeting.
