Rabbie Burns Celebration

Eleven members and friends met at (Scottish) Margaret´s house on the 25th January 2022 to celebrate Rabbie Burns day, this has now become a somewhat regular event in the camera club calendar, although for covid reasons it was decided to hold the event at mid-day instead on the evening.

We followed a traditional program for this event with the Selkirk Grace read by Jill, then the haggis was pipped in and addressed with the Burns Ode to a Haggis poem.before being summarily killed by hostess Margaret.

Andy proposed the toast to the Lassies and Pip gave the traditional response

The afternoon ended with all singing Auld Lang Syne

Christmas Lunch 2021

 Fifteen members and friends met at the Restaurant Puerto Tres in Los Alcazares on 15th December to celebrate Christmas and another successful club year. The trophy for the most successful member at our monthly photo competition was again presented by the club president but this year he had to present it to himself so well done John, a worthy winner,see the webpage of all the winners for a photo of the presentation for this year. We all look forward for a chance to win this coveted trophy next year, although we will have to continue with our Zoom meetings.

We all agree on the success of this years venue for our meal, the quality of the menu of the day, the excellent service and value for money at only 11euros each. Well organized by club Treasurer, Margaret Odell

Happy New Year to all
