FELTHAM AND WHITTON LIONS CLUB


Annual Christmas Party.


In December  the club held its annual party for senior citizens, in a side room at the Plough Public House, Norwood Green. Heston.

The party was attended by 40 senior citizens invited from the local area.

 
   
     
   
     
 



The day began early for club members and friends.  There was the decorating of the function room, the seating of tables, and of course the preparation and cooking of the meal. Lion Alf Greenbank was "head chef" and was ably assisted by his wife Jean . The Club President and other supporters worked hard behind the scenes

 
   
   
 
     
 





Those of us not "on duty" at the Plough were dispatched to collect the Guests.  In two minibuses donated by Hounslow Phab and one hired from Hounslow Community Transport:- driven by volunteer drivers.

 
   
 
   
   
     
 



Upon arrival at the venue, guests were provided with a glass of sherry, and shown to their seats. Having made themselves comfortable they were offered further liquid refreshment, the mood was set! everyone had been provided with a drink,-or two- (not all alcoholic) then we began to bring on the festive fare

 
   
 
   
   
 
     
 




The first course, a very nice vegetarian soup, was served with a roll and butter, and of course more liquid refreshments. The main course was a traditional Christmas dinner, and  you've guessed it yet more liquid  refreshment  Next came Christmas pudding and custard, closely followed by mince pies, mints, and much pulling of crackers.

 
   
 
   
   
     
 




After this magnificent feast. everybody settled down for the entertainment. This was in the form of a seasonal disco. With a memorable Frank Spencer impression. along with jokes. silly hats. and party poppers.  A raffle was the held. lots of  prizes were donated by friends, club members, and local businesses. Even Santa managed to find the time to drop by and hand out the gifts to all the guests

Slowly the festivities wound down, and it was back to the minibuses for the cheerful journey home (via some local Xmas lights as many of our guests never get to see these).
