On Tuesday, November 26, 34 enthusiastic Forbes Garden Club Members met for a delicious lunch at the Vandenberg Hotel.

The tables had been decorated in the Christmas theme by Gail and Margaret.

President Margaret welcomed the guests and then gave out the flower of the month prizes to the prizewinners.

First prize was shared by Joyce Morrison and Denise Thurston, second Prize went to Irene Ford and third Prize to Marlene Huf.

Margaret conducted a little trivia with Meg Scholefield and David Sanderson being the participants.

A show card with Dolly Parton and Santa Claus was shown around with the two participants seated in front of the sign having to guess who they were.

It was a little fun with Meg Scholefield quickly guessing who she represented whilst David “beat around the bush for quite some time” before guessing.

A joke was also shared during the afternoon.

As this was our last get together for the year many enjoyed the activities and the social atmosphere.

It has been a great year of social meetings visiting gardens of Margaret Dent, Peter and Meg Scholefield, Colleen Liebich, Sue and Bob Jayet and Evelyn Mahlo.

Next meeting will be the Annual General meeting in February which will be held at the Men's Shed.

Best wishes for Christmas to all our members, stay well and hopefully some members will step up for the Executive positions next year.
