Great Christmas Party

Thanks to everyone who came to the Christmas Party last Saturday.  We had great food, lots of chatting and laughing and some challenging Christmas quizzes - I didn't know that the carol 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' was symbolic!! .  Everyone went home with a gift from Secret Santa and a Christmas card and present from Preston Lacemakers.  Hope everyone has a great Christmas.
