PRE LUNCH DRINK ENDS IN DISAPPOINTMENT

On 3rd January a handful of friends were invited by Richard and Judy Barber for pre lunch drinks.

Thank you Judy for the lovely savouries and most generous hospitality.

The only let down was that right at the end those of us who were left were palmed off by Richard with some cruddy Champagne cognac that was 130 years past its sell by date. How rude! Seriously, thank you Richard for sharing a tasting experience with us that we will savour for a life time x

JOINT CAROL SERVICE WITH HMP LATCHMERE

The carol service this year was a great success. The church was packed to capacity and it was a great joy to share the occasion with the Governor, Chaplains and Prisoners from Latchmere Prison. It was nice to welcome too, HRH Princess Alexandra, our MP, and the mayor of Richmond.

Pictured are One of the Chaplains, the Reverend Graham Cocking, plus Henry and Simon.

The music was excellent, the choir on form and the congregational singing second to none.

During the rehearsal we also had opportunity to say thank you to Jenny Wendy and Evelyn for all their hard work.
