We had a fun mixture of folk this year as some long-time members were unfortunately absent but we had sever new members present. Of course Jack & Colleen were were great hosts as usual. Colleen makes everyone feel at home and Jack always entertains with a trip out to the shop to view his latest work.

The food was of course delicious with the club-provided brisket and several new tasty side dishes which caused no one to leave hungry. Among the desserts was Bert's always yummy peanut brittle, also available to to buy to take home. I'm sure everyone left there a few pounds heavier! The fun-filled evening was wrapped up with the much anticipated Chinese gift exchange. But this year there were some unusual gifts which provided a lot of amusement for everyone!
