Hi All,

The 6th December saw our last meeting of the year. It was a cracking evening and as expected, we stuffed ourselves silly with pizza, chips and chicken. Some of us could not get enough and took doggy bags home - for the dog of course.

A couple of paper quizzes were on hand to keep the brain active. One was a logo quiz and the other a Christmas dingbats challenge. Two teams surprisingly scored top marks in both and prizes had to be shared - more eating.

It was good to see John Eade at our meeting and enjoy a bit of a catch up. Baby Bob also made a return without Bob.

It was announced that the New Year Run will be held a little later in 2023 on the 15th January. Meet at Sainsburys car park (DE5 3QP) from 10am to set off at 10:30am on a scenic drive around Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. I am sure there will be lunch stop at some point in the day.

However, the best news of the evening was that Bryan Clayton stepped forward and became the new AO for Derwent Valley. Congratulations Bryan, I hope you enjoy the role as much as I have.

Bryan's first announcement was that the next meeting will be at Top Club, Stanley Common, DE7 6FY on 10th January 2023 starting from 7:30pm.

Finally, may I wish you all a Healthy, Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Cheers Colin » more ...
