2008 CHRISTMAS LUNCH
The Annual lunch, held this year at the Noel Arms Hotel, Chipping Campden was well supported by members and guests
and again provided a perfect introduction to the Christmas period and a conclusion to the Club's activities for 2007
Chairman, Phil Britt welcomed everyone and after the usual poetic "grace" everyone setled down to either their lamb or
guinea fowl main course
A successful reffle was concluded by a brief summary of the club's progress during the year in which members had won awards at
several shows including the Area show, Malvern Spring and the Royal Show.
The Club had been successful winning a bronze medal at Chelsea in the Spring and had then taken part in the St.James Church
Chipping Campden Flower Festival in August.
Phil then reminded members that next year was the Golden Anniversary of the club and that it would be a busy time for
everyone after the Christmas and New Year holidays.
