Are they soap suds in front of Bagpuss? He will certainly get rinsed off 🤣. 
 

We can’t drive straight to the pub because the Via Gellia road is closed so be careful out there, oh and you’re nuts 😍❤️😘

Apologies, couldn't make it. Family medical stuff coming from all directions at the moment and a tad overwhelmed.

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

@Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) you were very muchly missed and we wish you and your family all the best, hoping things improve soon. If it helps we will be out on Saturday next weekend if the weather is good, at the very least it would be wonderful to see you in the monster machine for breakfast, take care hunny XX

 

Last year 5 Westfield's and a Tiger made the run out before the Christmas party, this year the weather stopped play for all but one little nutty Bagpuss. Well done to @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO for pushing the boundry and arriving in style.

 

 

He still can't park straight mind you

 

 

 

Herre is our leader @AndrewBClarke to whom we are very grateful to for organising such a successful event, plus his lovely and supporting wife, Clare THANK YOU X

 

 

Also supported by the esteemed Club Chairman @Hedley Bennett (HB46443) - Club Chairman who we always love to have with us

 

 

The rest of us

 

 

Quiz ready, well done to Gemma for winning first prize

 

 

 

Martin's secret came out in the quiz, the fact that he has a wardrobe full of rubber and leather, here he is admitting to it, so it must be true!!

 

 

Billy Senior's wife, Sue was busy ogling the cakes with me, maybe we should visit here on our next outing just to see if they taste as good as they look

 

 

Salmon and crayfish starter with a touch of melon, delish mmmm

 

 

A range of desserts, all excellent as was the main Turkey dinner which I forgot to photograph, no-one went home hungry

 

 

Xmas Pud the size of a brick

 

 

 

So here we are, stuffed, having enjoyed another excellent Christmas Party. Lovely to see you all and let's hope Andrew and Clare extend their generosity to organising one for next year.

THANK YOU x

Ah, sadly monster machine miss-fire hasn’t been resolved yet. Will try tomorrow and see what further I can find.

 

That said, I’m working all next weekend, anyway, sadly. One of the “you can only have access out of office hours”, commercial jobs we do.
