December End of Year Get Together 9 December 2017

End of year celebration. Some entertainment, and it is suggested we each write a short poem about some aspect of ourselves that may not be known to others. The others have to guess who it refers to, so prepare the piece so it can be drawn out of a container to be read.

Friends and family are welcome to join us.

Pease bring a plate - finger food only, please.
