Last evening (9 December 2024) members attended the Carol Service at St Margaret Lothbury together with the Coleman Street and Broad Street Ward Clubs. The Chaplain, Jeremy Crossley led a heartwarming service supported by the wonderful choir. We then moved to our Hall to enjoy a Christmas party with some excellent food and wine , a draw for festive fizz presented by Santa and some great trad jazz played by the Hendo Washboard Kings. As you will see from the photos, some of our members were moved to demonstrate their bopping skills with increasing enthusiasm as the evening progressed!
