CLUB CAROL SING ALONG

We had a great afternoon at the above event with forty members present which allowed social distancing. The sing along was led by Choir Mistress Diane Horsington. To add to the fun Diane had us singing one carol in Spainish and one in German with the translation on the song sheet. When we got to the twelve days of Christmas, Diane nominated each table a number and the actions they had to do when it was their day. John Hunt judged the competition and presented prizes to the two winning tables.

At the mid-way break Lynne, Sheila, Joan and Sue had organized nibbles, mince pies and sausage rolls which were enjoyed by all.

Club captain Chris Merry presented prizes to the the highest scoring lady and man in the Internal Monday and Friday Competitios. Jack Burrell won Monday and Friday,Tanya Oliver won Mondays and Lynne Armitage won Fridays Competitions.
