Table Tennis Group
The table tennis group Christmas party was
held on Saturday Dec 7. As usual people
arrived early so as not to miss out on the
pre-meal “happy hour”. We were honoured
to have the club president Rob Kerr and his
wife Janice join us this year.
Everyone enjoyed our country style meal of
scrumptious German cuisine. This was fol-
lowed by an hour or so of Christmas cheer
as we sang carols to live piano music pro-
vided by maestro Rolf Malthaner. Next up
was a friendly game of charades, with the
ladies facing off against the gentlemen.
Luckily most of the topics were not too dif-
ficult and the crowd managed to figure out
the answer without too much theatrics
required.
Unlike the old days, when the Christmas
party ran into the wee hours, most people
called it a night by 10:30.
