This year for something different Don and Kate Redman hosted a wonderful ‘Big Fat Greek Xmas’ dinner for the club. On our arrival at Redman Manor Father Christmas, who was sitting out the front in the back of a Ford Ute, greeted us.

As everyone parked their beasts they followed the most amazing smells into a Christmas wonderland of food and festivities. The setting was amazing with Greek themed table centrepieces of olive branches and traditional Christmas decorations all the way along the huge dining table.

The head cook was a flutter, greeting everyone, making sure everyone had a drink and nibbles to keep the grumbling stomachs happy. Once everyone had arrived it was time to enjoy the great food as dinner was served. Everyone was very spoilt with a variety of meat, vegetables, and some very Greek specialties.

There was not a plate left with food on it, in fact I think there were a few plates licked clean. A traditional Greek dessert of Baklava followed and the cook did not disappoint. Spirits were high and everyone relaxed, had very full bellies and enjoyed the Greek Christmas spirit. One of our members made little Christmas bonbonnieres, which we all got to take home.

Thank you again to Don and Kate for hosting; it was definitely one of our best Christmas celebrations yet!
