During the evening a Raffle was held for the Alzheimer's
Society for which Mrs Chairman, Julie Mohacek, is a Registered Volunteer. The prizes on offer were a Wicker Hamper full of Christmas Goodies (donated by Mrs.
Chairman) and a bottle of rather nice 12 year old Whiskey (donated by Tony
Oakes).
The first prize of the hamper was won by Malcolm and Sheena Bailey (our
hard working Hon Sec) and the whiskey by Zack Stiling.
We are very pleased to advise that Raffle raised a goodly sum of £255 for the
Alzheimer's Society. Well done everybody !!
Full Farmhouse - 2019 SVVS Christmas
Social
(Edited report by By Malcolm Ward,
SVVS Magazine Editor)Our Christmas Social was again held at Church
Farm, hosted by Chairman Bozi and Julie Mohacek. Member attendance hit an all
time high with 68 booked to attend, but only 60 eventually turning up. It is a
little difficult and disappointing in a private house to cost and ensure there are enough
supplies for all who have booked to have enough of everything, and then having 10
people as no-shows.
I, with the intention of giving assistance, arrived quite
early, but as I gathered my goods from the car, a steady stream of other members’
cars pulled into parking spaces next to me. I was surprised to see Tony and
Julia Tester arrive in their 1935 Chrysler Wimbledon. I didn’t revisit the car
park until leaving, so this may have been the only ‘proper’ car in
attendance. We were greeted at the door by Bozi who ushered us through to the
kitchen where Chas and his wife Janet were handing out our magazines and drinks.
Julie was busy bustling from one side of the kitchen to the other while Michael
Harvey quietly placed nibbles and serviettes around the long kitchen table.
Quite suddenly the kitchen seemed crowded, so some went looking for more room,
of which this charming old farmhouse has aplenty. Some rooms had tables and
chairs, others had lounge seating and one had comfy seating facing an open log
fire which suited me nicely! I was just talking to Doug Wright about his
recently acquired 1929 boat tailed Austin Seven open tourer when Michael Harvey
announced that food was served. This welcome news inevitably led to a surge of
members heading for the kitchen, but we needn’t have hurried, there was more
than enough of everything to go around. Quiches, Scotch eggs, sausage rolls,
sandwiches for all tastes and other delights. When we had all devoured the
contents of our plates for the second time, Tony Russell summoned everyone to
crowd into the kitchen for a ‘thank you’ presentation to our hosts; flowers
to Julie and wine to Bozi. We applauded them both. This was immediately followed
by the raffle prize tickets draw. The Raffle was in aid of the Alzheimer's Society
for which Julie is a Registered Volunteer. This was done by Bozi under supervision
from Julie. The wining prize of a Christmas Hamper went to Malcolm and Sheena
Bailey, the second prize of a bottle of Scotch went to Zack Stiling. Time seemed
to fly from that point and all too soon members were saying good night and
wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. The Raffle raised £255
for the Alzheimer's Society which was most impressive and many thanks! We are not certain
where we will meet for our next Christmas Social, but we must appreciate that
Julie and Bozi deserve a well earned break.
