Christmas Coffee Morning 2007

Saturday morning on 15 December was very cold, frosty and chilly on the outside, but inside St. Mungo's hall, things were really very cosy.

The Christmas coffee morning with stalls laden with goodies to buy and to win at the various raffles and draws was quite a spectacle. You had to be quick to snap up the bargains, ranging from Christmas decorations and novelties to Fair Trade gifts from far flung third world countries. The well loved bottle stall was very busy. Could it have been something to do with not one, but two bottles of whisky to be won?

The home baking stall was also quick to sellout as the sight of freshly baked cakes and buns was too much of a temptation for most who cast their eyes upon it.

To recover from this cornucopia of delights was a welcome cup of coffee or tea with a warm mincemeat pie and shortbread, enjoyed with warm conversation with friends old an new round the table.

But it was not all over yet. The grand finalé was the prize draw to win the Christmas Hamper, a basket full of goodies for the Christmas table. A spread to bring cheer to anyone's face.

The social committee, who organised the whole event, did a terrific job.

A big thank you to all who contributed items for the stalls, gave their time to help set it all up, worked behind the counters, and for those who came along and purchased a few gifts and enjoyed themselves.
