Our last meeting of the year and the best yet as we broke our record for attendance. Our venue was full of gaudily dressed folk who oozed Christmas Spirit(Not the alchoholic kind). We had the pleasure of welcoming Gerry and his wife Vivian, as well as several new members.

We all applauded Alan for his latest award, as he was recognised by Radio Wave Local Heroes for his special work for charity re. Donna's Dream House, a cause very close to his heart. He was able to show us his framed certificate and beautiful engraved glass trophy.

The night progressed with multiple singers, players, comedians and a new group item as performed by the Wigan B.U.M.S. Hazel and her team had provided a lavish buffet accompanied by hot soup home made by Terry.

The special Christmas Raffle and Sing Along melodies ensured that the audience left full and happy and was a fitting ending to the year

Once again our thanks go out to EVERYONE, who, in their own way has contributed to the success of our branch and especially to Alan, without whom we could not achieve such a high standard of artistry

Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year
