John T introduced the Round Robin which was themed "What are you looking forward to in the New Year".
A delicious Dinner was then served, followed by dessert.
Leanne conducted the Table Topics session. This was followed by the favourite part of the Meeting - Secret Santa Game by Marlene. Much "swapping" of presents was all done in good spirit.

The highlight of the evening would have to be Leanne wishing us all the best for the Season with her musical rendition of "I'm dreaming of a Bright New Year". Brilliant!
