It's only the beginning of December but it is certainly getting busy. All the various clubs and groups are winding down and having their Christmas celebrations. And this week was no exception when I had several break ups to attend. The Probus Club had it's last meeting of the year, followed by a Christmas meal. Our monthly meetings are held in the local Cossie (Cosmopolitan) Club, and the staff had been busy making things look very festive.
Christmas meeting at the Cossie Club
This year the Probus Club formed a writing group. and I was keen to join. We have been meeting monthly in the library, and bring along something we have written to read out. It is all very informal, no topics are given, we write about whatever we want. As it turns out, most of us like to write short stories of our lives and family, and the occasional poem. Our leader decided that it would be nice to promote the writing group at the Christmas meeting, so several of us climbed up on stage to give a reading. My offering was a poem of about Probus, how I came to join, and the fun things we do.
And at the end of the meeting our delicious lunch was served. Hot beef and ham, roast veggies, broccoli and cauliflower in cheese sauce, peas and carrots, such a tasty meal. Followed by Christmas Pudding and custard. It was a nice finale to the Probus year.
