2021-12 December Christmas Party
We have two three Christmas Parties each year - Christmas in July, Christmas in December, and our Mid-Week Christmas Party also in December.Our Christmas Party on Sunday December 19th had 93 booked, although due to concerns about the local COVID outbreak, 87 attended.
We met Telarah Bowling Club at 10:30 am for a short run through Keinbah, Greta, Elderslie, Luskintyre and Lochinvar arriving back at the TBC at 12:00 noon for a Christmas drink followed by a traditional two course hot lunch at 12:30 pm. We were entertained by member John Milburn who played guitar favourites and some Christmas carols, including two that we sang along with. We played three options games with boxes of chocolates for the winners, and drew the raffles. There were many fabulous prizes won, and our charities (Riding for the Disabled and Little Wings) benefited to the tune of $640.
