44 Members and 44 Guests/partners enjoyed a
Christmas Party at Oake Manor. After a Starter there was a buffet main course
of Turkey Fricassee or Lamb Curry or Fish Pie, then a Dessert and a mince pie
with the coffee.
During the meal, Kaleb, a Magician, demonstrated card sleight of hand at each
table, winning applause for his skills.
To follow that, we were mesmerised by the tricks Kaleb persuaded some of his
audience to help him perform, including a clever mind reading co-operation with
President Keith – once he’d found his glasses! A disappearing wine bottle, an
enormous drinking straw and a magic Rubik’s Cube were conjured from a very
small bag. A magical performance.
The President wished everyone a Happy Christmas, and hoped to see a good
turnout for the first Meeting of 2019 on the 9th for Breakfast at the
Stragglers, and the Monday 14th at SCCC s/f Nigel Birkett, d/r R Austin.
Meal apologies to R Austin.
