Dear Friends

As Christmas comes around once more and a New Year beckons, we remember the friends and family we have lost in 2024. We also remember those who have not enjoyed good health, surely our most precious gift and wish that they are restored to full fitness in 2025.  We live in troubled times, but gain strength by looking after each other, even if from a distance.

I fondly remember our activities at Christmas, from pantomimes to visits from Father Christmas, followed by our “film” mostly starring Terry “Simmonds” Simpson, but with many support acts. Mince pies on Christmas eve and so much more. What we had was very special and continues in its own way today.

May I wish you and your family the very Best for Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.
