LUNCHTIME MEAL with Entertainment. Organiser - Jan Cooper.
Today we held our annual fun event to celebrate Christmas and the Winter holidays. We warmly welcomed partners, friends and guests to our gathering.
We started by sharing a tasty meal in the beautifully decorated festive surroundings of Westminster College's Great Hall.
President Jan was delighted to present Wendy de Horsey a hard won Paul Harris Fellowship. She has been a regular and enthusiastic supporter of club projects for many years and in particular our monthly Girton Memory Cafe, now in its 7th year, which has just had its eightieth session. Well Done !
After the meal we had some daft home-grown entertainment - a pantomime , penned by our own President !
