We have had Christmas Dinners and Finger Buffets in the evening and often had the comment "can't eat at night, sorry" so this year we had a Midday Lunch.

It was at the same venue as last year - The Chimes Resturant at The Rettendon Bell on the "old A130".

This year, as last year, it was organised by Julie, Wife of Brian, G4CTS and we had a total of 40 people enjoyed themselves.

The Guest Table

Philip Brooks, G4NZQ from Norwich & James McGinty, M0ZZO, from Colchester were amongst the guests.

Taking orders

A nice three course menu was provided with crackers, tea/coffee afterwards.
