The Festive Board |
| The festive board was the usual Christmas meal of Turkey with all the trimmings together with Christmas pudding, mince pies. The table was decorated with crackers and paper hats. During the festivities after the meal those not wearing the paper hats were fined which raised more money for the charities. |
| All in all it was fined a truly festive occasion and I look forward to next year. |
