As every year, the December meeting is when we hold our Christmas social. New this year was the “Best Dressed X-mas Bonsai” competition and our first club raffle draw. We started the Raffle earlier in the year and it proved very successful, raising plenty of money to continue this next year with further good prizes. Prizes for the raffle were donated by Members and I would like to thank everyone who participated and made this new venture a success.
The evening started with Carol setting out the food (a splendid effort at short notice – Big Thank you Carol!) and then we commenced with a general Knowledge Quiz. 
After the quiz we voted on the best dressed Bonsai and Rebecca swept the board with her beautifully decorated Larch Group, complete with snow and Victorian Street lighting. Well done to everyone who put in the effort to enter a tree.
Then on to the Raffle draw. Plenty of prizes to be had and everyone seemed to be pleased with their winnings.
All in all a great evening.
All that was left was to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
