Snooker Group Celebrates Christmas
An excellent Christmas Luncheon was held by the Snooker Group at the Bonsor Recreation Centre, with a wonderful buffet, prizes and a concert by some of the members. It was very evident that a lot of time and effort had been made by the executive and some volunteers like Su to make the occasion great for all of us lucky enough to be invited.
