Oh! What a night! Proceeding went on ‘til late, fighting broke out and the
police were called and several arrests made but the HPIC Christmas was a
much more sober event and all the more enjoyable for that.
A great deal of thanks goes to Sue Gibson who planned the event. It was
great fun. About twenty people enjoyed the celebration of Mikey Hey win
this year’s Challenge Trophy; the results are shown below, a splendid
buffet offering a wide range of hot and cold food for all tastes including
some magnificent deserts; lemon marang pie, pavlova and a chocolate
log. Sue also did us proud with a challenging quiz some of the questions
within which are shown below just in case members would like to
undertake the challenge over the festive break. Answers will be
forthcoming when meetings resume in 2022.
