With Christmas just around the corner 49 Club members and invited guest enjoyed a traditional Christmas lunch at the Beggar’s Reach, country Hotel, Burton on Tuesday 6th December 05. The warm welcome and kind hospitality given by Mr & Mrs Smallman & Staff of the Hotel was second to none. With the exception to the melon starter, cornucopia amounts of food was served in piping hot dishes and was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
The Chairman heralded the good news, stating the Christmas lunch dining fee and coach travel will be paid for from raffle monies raised over the year, which received a generous round of applause.
Apologies were given on behalf of those invited guests unable to attend and from Peggi & Ivor Evans.
A warm welcome was given to Mr & Mrs Walter Hart of Black Gate, Letterston and was thanked for services in kind given to the Club during the year.
Members were informed that Mrs Sue Langford had been co-opted onto the Committee and the Chairman gave best wishes for many happy & enjoyable hours in her toils for the Club.
A rendering of “Happy Birthday” was sung in harmony to Bryn Davies, Vaughan Evans, Joyce Green & Margaret Phillips (Letterston).
The Chairman wished Margaret Phillips (Trevine) & Graham Bindon speedy recoveries to better health after receiving hospital treatment for their respective medical problems.
More good news was given by the Chairman in respect to the Club’s Holiday on Ice outing on Thursday 16th February 2006, insomuch that the coach travel had been sponsored by PCC for the sum £220.00. The remaining 5 spare tickets to attend the show were soon sold to members. Rita will collect monies for the event at the January meeting 2006. Arrangements are in hand to stop for an evening meal on the homeward journey. Travel & pick-up times will be promulgated in due course.
With a glut of raffle prizes Bryn Davies & Ann Harries had no problem in beating the current raffle record of £72 set by Brian Dickin by raising £103. Our Treasurer was well pleased with the realisation.
