Horringer Community Centre

Several small groups played to us all. Everyone was excellent but the most popular was a group of brass, drums and an electric guitar. Their “Another Christmas Medley” was bright and cheerful and we were all swaying to the rythym. After the music we ate and drank - thank you to Abi and Kate for arranging the food, and to Tania and Colin for supplying the wine. We tackled a composer-picture quiz supplied by Nic with varying degrees of success (and internet use!). At the end the orchestra played a medley of carols and “White Christmas”, arranged by Lawford. The evening was good fun.
