Christmas Dinner

Enjoying a dance

Christmas dinner at St Hilda's was a wonderful evening.

We - about 65 of us - had an excellent roast turkey dinner with sprouts and carrots, sausage, stuffing and roast potatoes all supplied by Charles Nicholson's of Whitley Bay, and followed by individual trifles made by one of the church members.

Tucking in, and entertained by

Entertainment was provided by Glen Courtney from Durham who sang a range of popular songs from past decades. We joined in with some, danced to others, and listened to them all.

(He was very good, but I couldn't see any page to link to - if you know a relevant link for him I'd be happy to include it.)

Some of the workers ready and waiting for the crowd

Lottery prizes were won and distributed during the evening - including the very tasteful table decorations. Crackers were pulled, paper hats were worn, dreadful jokes were explained and everyone went home happy and full.

Thanks to all those who worked hard to who prepare everything and who cleared up afterwards - their labours were much appreciated.
