Well I think we all had a good time?

Magician was pretty good, what I saw of him.
Food was very tasty and good for people on diets, like me.
Awards went well, I got a very big surprise from Santa's sack!
Band were a-maze-ing!
We won two prizes in the raffle (mind yo we bought loads of tickets!)

Thank you everyone who came along, hope you enjoyed it as well.

Particular thanks to Terry who organised the food and helped set up, Linda for doing the hall decorations and getting a good raffle together, and Mr P for coping with me! And everyone else who did a bit on the night, really appreciate those who stopped on to tidy away :-*

Kris Owen can sell you a copy of that print. I can't remember what the number of prints are, but it's limited.



David has had several hints that I quite fancy one for a christmas present so he's now on the case ;)

Don't hang about, as Kris will have get it printed and then either she / you / David will need to get it framed. The one I got done took 2 weeks to get framed.

What a smashing night 8-)
We are just watching the (rather grainy, sadly :'() video
Thank you for our award, love the certificate :-*

Well done to those wonderful peeps who did all the organising and put in so much hard work, Linda the Christmas tree was inspired ;)

Considering that only one of us, I'll let you guess which, is a party animal we BOTH thoroughly enjoyed ouselves.

Must be something about Greyhound Walks members....during the day at walks or shows or at a nighttime social event...they are damn fine people and bl..dy good company!!


Agreed :)

Great company at our end of the table, and David, as always, was quite content to sit and watch me cause mayhem dance the night away ;D

David managed to tuck away two massive platefuls from the buffet and two puddings , and come home with a huge plateful of leftover cake ::)

Sounds like you all had a great evening. So sorry I missed it :'( The fog here was awful, I turned back when it took me 35 mins to do what normally takes me 15 mins.
I was really annoyed when the fog had gone by bedtime >:(
Sorry I missed Andy's band! Glad you all had a good one. Winning the hamper did make me feel better though :D
