The first week of December 2023 was a busy u3a week and already it seems a long time ago.
Monday December 4th was our first traditional Christmas Lunch since the Covid restrictions were lifted. 144 places were available and they were all quickly sold.
Members enjoyed a substantial 2 course meal followed by tea/coffee and a mince pie.
The catering was by Cathy from the British Legion and on the day both her helpers and the staff from JGC were whizzing round efficiently serving every table.

Following the meal we were firstly entertained by Terry Hill with an enjoyable selection from his ‘Big Bumper Book of Jokes’ followed by Roy Brown and Ann and Ian Murray who sang a selection of seasonal songs.
To end the afternoon we had a Christmassy ‘Singalonga’ curated by Liz and Phil Attenborough.
We extend our thanks to all of them for sharing their talent with us and for time spent in preparation for the event.
Finally thanks also to Cathy, her helpers and Kim and the staff at JGC.
