On Sunday, December 5, 22 members of the British Club enjoyed a Ladies and Gentlemen Christmas Coffee Morning at the home of Twink Gates-Zimdar and Bob Zimdar. Freshly baked mince pies, sausage rolls, quiche, cheese plate and crackers, coconut macaroons, Belgium chocolate cookies, Hershey's Kisses, peppermint chocolate bark, fresh strawberries and grapes were served with coffee, and of course, tea!
Ethel Willmot distributed her home made, delicious Christmas Puddings to Members who had placed orders earlier in the year. Finalizing the holiday morning, everyone sat around the fire with the Christmas tree, and sipped a Prosecco mimosa toast, wishing everyone very Happy Holidays, and a Happy, Healthy New Year 2022.
Everyone thanked Twink and Bob for inviting them into their home for this very enjoyable Christmas Coffee Morning and Book Exchange.
Eventually, after the COVID-19 restrictions have eased more, the British Club will resume their games afternoons every second and fourth Friday of the month. They will have a social event in the bar area at SaddleBrooke Clubhouse which includes the following activities: Canasta, Mexican Train and maybe Bridge from 1 p.m. until around 4 p.m. This is followed by a social hour and a bar meal.
