Christmas Lunch - 8 December 2014
The Christmas lunch at the York Club was a great success with 50 people attending, including lots of new members and their guests. We had new caterers this year and the food was just as delicious as usual.
Following the lunch several members of the group were presented with long service awards by our special guest, Anne Coney, who is just about to retire as the Chairman of RDA South Region.
Sally received an award for 20 years service. Sarah received an award for 10 years service. Tony, Angie, Maddie, Ellie and David all received awards for 5 years service.
Anne also presented Sue with the award for RDA South Region Volunteer of the Year 2014.
The event concluded with the usual raffle with many delighted winners.
Thanks to Frank Rainsborough and Sue for the photos.
