After a delicious baked dinner and wine and orange juice our two life members Shirley Devine and Frances Green cut the Christmas cake that Beth Schubert had created. Thank you so much Beth. You always manage to produce a very beautiful and artistically designed cake every year.

We were all entertained with a concert put on by our girls and once again it was a howling success. Thank you for all the talented ladies who participated, especially the anonymous Seven Dwarfs.
