Thursday 18 Dec was our annual Xmas meal at The Hideout in Finchampstead, where for the umpteenth year in a row Paul somehow missing Santa turning up to distribute this year’s Secret Santa presents, which included some fine examples of the £5 genre. See the 2014 gallery for all the Xmas photos.
And then on to the last event of the year, the St. Thomas Day dance out in Wokingham on Sat 20th December, preceded by meeting as usual in apparently the only pub in Wokingham without any beer, The Red Lion. On another bright and mild day we drew the traditional small crowd – just as well as not all the dances went too well. A Dance of Chance with some confusion over the top and bottom of the set stood out, but not quite as much as an over ambitious Tag Boggle, which had seemed like a good idea but tragically wasn’t. But the day (and dance year) finished with a fine Fairies, and then a social afternoon which included marvelling over Bunfight spots of the past – the good, the bad, and the ‘why on earth did we do that?……’.
