The Christmas meetings just seem to go on and on. Not that I’m
complaining, mind you. After a Christmas BBQ with another group the previous
day, it was then time for the final meeting of the year for the Levin Ladies
Probus Club. Our speaker was Debbie from the Levin AP&I Showgrounds, who
told us about her interesting places of work before moving to Levin. She is
also a speech coach, and gave us tips for speaking clearer, with the emphasis on
breathing, standing tall, clear diction. She had us all standing up straight
and practising several exercise phrases which she uses for her students!
The Christmas Cake was then cut by one of our foundation
members, before we enjoyed our tasty lunch. Instead of our usual meeting
seating at long tables, the round tables were nicely set up instead in groups of
eight, making it a more cosy atmosphere. With the addition of Christmas
Crackers,chocolates, and a bowl of Punch, we could tell it was going to be a
very festive meal indeed.
And it was – we enjoyed hot ham, stuffed turkey roll, and plenty of hot
vegetables. Followed by Christmas Pudding and custard, mini pavlovas, and fruit
salad.

It was a lovely meal, and although we probably didn’t really need that
dessert, of course we ate it. Jillian, Dot and I raised our glasses of non
alcoholic Punch while one of our friendly table mates kindly took a photo for
us. This was our final Ladies Probus meeting for the year, and like most
groups, we won’t get together again until next February.
Jillian, Dot and Jenny
