Bookworms report from Rebecca

 Bookworms met Wednesday morning before our lovely afternoon. We had Tinker, Tailer, Soldier, Spy and it was not one we liked/enjoyed or finished. Oh well let’s hope this months book the Doll Factory by Elizabeth Macneal is more for us.

Other books read this month include Kate Mosse the winter ghosts, coffee shop of Kabul and the mirror by Nora Roberts.

What’s on this week?

A visit to the Grotto where we will see Santa! Woo hoo!

The visit begins at 1 o’clock on Wednesday 18th December. At the Edge Building in Bolton Street (go past Hammer and Nails, keep on going up the hill on the opposite side of the road. There are steep steps up into the building. No parking close by!

If you haven’t paid to join us but really wish you had, just turn up on the day with £5 to pay on the door!

Our Christmas Party

 

Our meeting today was a great start to the Christmas season! A gorgeous array of food, Bucks Fizz, very generous donations to the Yes!Brixham food bank, delightful raffle prizes and excellent entertainment by Missin’ Tackle. They began by singing Jerusalem with us, and it was wonderful! Jean and Aldene won the handbag game in style and we all had a very sociable afternoon. Thank you to everyone for making it such a success!

Our Christmas party is looming!

Don’t forget to bring your name badge, mug, plate of food to share, £1 for the raffle (no charge for tea this month!) and something for the YesBrixham Edge foodbank. Also a cheery, Christmas atmosphere! Please also bring your handbag! Even if you don’t usually bring one!

Is anyone having goose for Christmas?

Committee goes out on the town!

 We enjoyed a great evening at the Upside Bar in Paignton (opposite the station and along a bit). The food was absolutely superb and the company top notch! So sorry Jan DW wasn’t able to make it. 

We take being on the committee very seriously indeed - as you can see! 😜

Cribbage on Wednesday, 2 o’clock.

 THE VENUE HAS CHANGED. TINA HAS ARRANGED FOR US TO GO TO 

BRIXHAM RUGBY CLUB PLAYERS BAR, as golf club has a big lunch on.

PLEASE LET TINA KNOW YOU HAVE SEEN THIS!

What is your score in this hand?

Tuesday coffee morning lunch - on Monday! 🤩

 Our monthly coffee morning regulars enjoyed a very lovely time over lunch at the Berry Head Hotel. We thought that next year we might transform the November coffee morning into lunch instead of December, as all of us had at least one more Christmas meal ahead of us this week. Not so much going on in November, so that could be preferable!

We covered a wide range of topics, as usual, including Christmas food in the 70s - look out for cheese and pineapple hedgehogs, vol au vents and black forest gateaux on our Christmas party table next week!

This beautiful card; could it be the subject of a craft afternoon next year?

A message from Jayne about Thursday:

 If anyone coming to colouring would like lunch, please let me know. I need to liaise with the golf club.  

WhatsApp or email or my phone.

A few of the Santas look very familiar….! fabulous!

 

What’s On?

 The Christmas season is upon us! Santas will be running (or walking) around the harbour today! Good luck to each one of them!

What do we have on our calendar for this coming week?

Monday: 12.30 lunch at the Berry Head Hotel. The monthly coffee at Lupton House regulars are keeping to tradition by turning the December one into lunch. We’ve moved it to Monday as well for this month, as you may notice. Please come along to join us if you wish!
