Christmas Meal

Our annual Christmas meal took place on Tuesday 9th December at the beautiful Wishaw Country Sports at Grounds Farm in Wishaw. There were 51 in attendance – a festive mix of members and their families – including Linda Routh as our special guest. It was especially nice to welcome a number of new members and share a special evening together.

Whilst the abundance of carvery and desserts is always a highlight, our main event was the awards ceremony. There is a lot of encouragement and support for further education at our association and it was lovely to have such a lot of awards to present and for such varied things. 

Congratulations go to;

Mark Hamilton – Basic (Distinction)

Michelle Smith – Basic (Credit)

A wonderful evening was had by all. Huge thanks to Grounds Farm for their superb hospitality and thank you very much to Fiona for organising it all – we appreciate it!

Merry Christmas everyone!
