Christmas 2011 at Scarisbrick - 2nd - 4th December 2011

Many thanks to Gingy and Tony for the loan of their cameras when mine died a sad death as well as Paul for allowing me to download hundreds of photos onto his new laptop  so I could bring them home with me to work on. 

                      It's a good job Peter brought his water wings (and his sense of humour), he was completely flooded in because
                      of the blocked grid in the corner

                                                It was a little bit wet this weekend but we didn't let a little thing like that spoil our fun!!!

                                                Even the kitties dressed up for Christmas.

                                               I asked our members to bring some prezzies for the raffle table to make this a raffle to
                                               remember for our 90th birthday year, they more than did us proud.  Thanks to everyone
                                               who donated a prize, and also to everyone who bought raffle tickets to make us a spooky
                                               amount of money without even trying.  Well done everyone!!!!!!!!!!

                                                This l'il elf was a busy bee all weekend, baking millions of cakes and a million and one other things too.

                                               The childrens party gets under way

                                                Fun and games with Uncle Les

                                                Many hands make light work.  Thanks to everyone who helped decorate and prepare
                                                the hall ready for the party, and also the small band of helpers who stayed behind late
                                                on Saturday night to put the tables and chairs away, remove the decorations and literally
                                                scrubbed the hall and rooms to within an inch of it's life.  Santa's little helper even brought
                                                along a hoover from Lapland to clean the place, as well as a Lapland tree.

                                               Our tea party ladies with some of the plates they prepared for the childrens party.

                                              Our favourite entertainer Kris Krazy kept us all highly amused for most of the afternoon....

                                              The Mup-pets dancing along to Kris Krazy

                                               We were served a delicious tea of stew, chicken curry or chips and chicken nuggets,
                                               by Chris, Bernie, Lynne and many helpers.  Thanks everyone, can't wait for our next
                                               banquet!!!!!

                                              George being served his much needed din dins.   Thanks for getting the food George and
                                              also for keeping us entertained with the disco all weekend, as well as the million and one
                                              other tasks too.

                                              It wouldn't be Christmas without Santa and his little helper, although he must have called
                                             into Southern Ireland on his way over as he seemed to have picked up a bit of an Irish accent!!!

                                               It was Amy's 11th birthday in the week so she celebrated it in LSWLDA style.
