presented with flowers and plonk by Tony Russell (Publicity Officer)
as thanks for laying on this event at their home.
2018 SVVS Christmas 'very' Social Evening
Having avoided all injuries this year I decided not to push my luck and leave
early. However I hadn't expected to find my car windscreen frosted inside as
well as out, so spent five minutes warming the engine in order to clear a patch
of screen large enough to peer through.
Arriving safely at the farmhouse I discovered the party to be in full swing.
Greeted at the door by Bozi I was directed to a suitably dressed Chas Moody who
was collecting contributions and handing out SVVS Christmas magazines. Chas then
passed my attention to his wife Janet who was in charge of refreshments. After
collecting my wine I soon became absorbed in conversations with various members
on a range of subjects, then suddenly remembered I was supposed to be taking
photos for the magazine.
No sooner had I taken a few photos when the arrival of food was loudly announced
by Tony Russell. Julie Mohacek and Michael Harvey had been busy filling every
available kitchen work top space with plates, bowls and dishes crammed with
sandwiches, sausage rolls, salads, quiches, scotch eggs, mince pies, stollen
bread and more!
To minimise chaos, most elected to collect their plates and circulate
anticlockwise, but there's always a rebellious few, led by Tony Russell in this
instance I believe, who decided to circulate in the opposite direction causing
general confusion. Moving to the opposite side of the kitchen it was generally
considered easier to join them rather than fight against them, but of course we
were immediately outwitted and again came face to face with Tony and his
followers!
But of course, this didn't prevent everyone filling their plates and retreating
to the various rooms throughout the ground floor, made available to us in this
wonderful old farmhouse. Soon the voice of Tony Russell was heard again, this
time to announce a presentation, so I quickly rummaged for my camera once more.
In the Kitchen, Tony Russell, on behalf of SVVS members, presented flowers to
Julie and wine to Bozi, in gratitude for their generous hospitality.
After a period of time eating, drinking, chatting and laughing, members started
to make their rounds bidding good night. Julie and Michael were busy clearing
away empty serving dishes while Chas and Janet tided up the empty bottles. I
made my round of saying good night to the few remaining members, then thanked
Bozi and Julie for a wonderful evening. It was then that I heard the very good
news that Bozi and Julie were quite willing to host the Christmas Social next
year ...whoopee!
Chas later reported 55 members attended, including our hosts, and Janet reported
that the bar hadn't run dry. Well done and thank you to all those involved.
