St Gabriel Wood's Xmas Visit

We invited the residents of Saint Gabriel Wood's Mariners Home from Greenock, to our Xmas meeting to enjoy a few wets and spin a few yarns with our members. We held a raffle which was well supported and our guests went way with most of the prizes.

The photos are of S/m Len talking to two of the men from the home. The other is of our chairman and secretary presenting the carers with a cheque for their funds.

We also extend our thanks to S/ms Joan Lowe, Anne McKinnon and Anne Cox for providing the food on the night.

The Chairman and committee wish all members and their families a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Xmas Lunch with the Not Forgotten Association

Ten of our members attended The Not Forgotten Association's Xmas lunch in the Dalmahoy Hotel, Kirknewton. We had a sherry reception followed by an excellent Traditional Turkey Christmas Luncheon. This was followed by a raffle. Entertainment was provided by Miss Janet Beale a talented young lady who played a variety of instruments, she had the company singing there hearts out.

Our esteemed Treasurer reverted to his childhood and had fun playing with the squeeker balloons and squeeky blowers as seen in the photos.
