We enjoyed dinner at The Curry Pot on Wednesday night (thanks, Aya, for the recommendation), followed by Christmas-themed Table Topics, strawberries, a few mince pies and far too many mini eclairs :) There were even a few Toastmasters versions of Christmas carols - turns out we're quite a tuneful bunch!

We start 2020 with a new venue (Trinity Union Church) and a new meeting night (Tuesday). More details to follow - but for now, have a great Christmas and New Year. We look forward to being part of your development in a new decade!
