There were visitors from Harden, Temora and Flowerdale VIEW clubs and our Zone Councillor Margaret Elmes, not forgetting our own ladies.

The Christmas cake was made and decorated by our own member Marj Smith, and was cut by Zone Councillor Margaret together with the new National Councillor for 2018-19 Fay Valerius.

This was also enhanced with a trading table full of delicious Christmas goodies.

During proceedings the Christmas raffle was drawn by Monica from the Country Club with first prize, the metal Christmas tree made and donated by David Paton, going to ticket number 1514963 in the name of Carolyn Howse.

The other prizes were eight Christmas hampers made up of donations from our very generous members.

Second prize M Stuart, 3rd Betty Rudd, 4th Verly Lord, 5th K Burch, 6th Di Heritage, 7th Ray Taber, 8^th Keith Boxsell  and 9^th Dianna Martin.

They were all overjoyed when told of their win and all prizes have been delivered.

Our entertainment was members from The Sing Australia choir under the direction of Ruth Thorburn who sang five Christmas Carols with the ladies joining in.

Ann Breeze gave them a vote of thanks on our behalf.

Our next meeting will be on the February 1 at the Cootamundra Country Club and will be our AGM and the elections.

Subscriptions will rise to $20 next year.
