SOCIAL REPORT …….Carolynne Roach..
Our Christmas Party in early December went well. Everyone seemed to enjoy the entertainers, food and raffles and made an effort to enter the Christmas spirit and dressed to impress.
The trip to The Hunter Valley Christmas lights finally went ahead on the 4th attempt on 23rd January. The weather on each of the previous attempts had been severe storms and lightning so lights cancelled. When we finally got there the lights were spectacular and worth the trip.
