Monday 7th October 2024
The Carey Room was full for an evening of food and entertainment with Pie and Peas followed by a variety of Desserts, and thanks to everyone who contributed to the puddings, and worked in the kitchen preparing food and of course washing & drying the pots (and there were a lot!)
Thanks also go to Shelagh who produced some multiple choice questions to keep everyone occupied while we ate and chatted, and then followed with a quiz. Well done all the winners.
