Sixty three people attended on Christmas Day for a meal, which consisted of freshly prepared savouries, salads, turkey, ham, and desserts, with tea, coffee, soft drinks, punch, water and lollies for the sweet tooth.  

So many thanks are due to many people, as individuals and representing organizations who assisted with the lunch.
