LONGRIDGE & PRESTON144 CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS

 On Sunday 19th December, despite many hiccups, Longridge and Preston 144 hosted a gathering of 50 for a Christmas Celebration meal at Gibbon Bridge Hotel and Restaurant in Chipping. 

All enjoyed mulled wine on arrival and a sumptuous three course Christmas Dinner,

Good to see friends old and new but especially those not seen for a while (Looking good John and Rita).

A sadly depleted table of the "Walking Group" but guys quality always trumps quantity....only 3 bottles of wine!!!!!

The two presidents table looking replete and as was once said "I just love it when a plan comes together".

What's the best thing to put in a Christmas pudding?

Your teeth!!

The diners were entertained throughout the meal by a superb pianist, Simon McClure with his sensitive and discerning choice of music.

What did Adam say on the day before Christmas?

It's Christmas, Eve!

Enough of that mince pies and coffee to come.

A special mention to the pianist Simon McClure who played during the meal, and then stayed on to accompany the hearty singing of Christmas carols.

A big thank you to Ted for his doggedness in organisation and success in providing a super pre-Christmas 2021 event which will live long in the memory.

Happy Christmas and hopefully a prosperous New Year.
