YACP – Yet Another Christmas Party !

A dozen members turned out for the Christmas session on Friday.

We started in the Frank Hornby with a table moving session that finally got us all seated together. After a couple of drinks we moved on to Brenda and Johns where we sipped and supped until after dark in a very relaxed session.  Excellent !

Thanks to all for making it happen.
