December saw our usual "triple-barrel celebration" of the year just enjoyed: the Annual General Meeting (the best attended, probably, ever!), the Awards Presentation with our Club Patron Cr Nicole Johnston, and a fantastic High Tea.

Club Championship results and photos will follow in another post.

Thanks to Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner for the Seniors Celebration Donation that helped fund the event.

And thanks to all our generous cooks and those who tidied up.
