 Thanks to Kath, Geoff and John for a magnificent Christmas celebration. We bounced around on Smith's Lane to get there, then behold the house on the hill, all ready for the BRAG crew. It was just like a Christmas day feast complete with decorations, food and treats. It was a great opportunity to just be ourselves and enjoy each other's company. Thanks also to all the members for their contribution to the day.
