This months meeting is a get together, hand out Christmas cards and eat mince pies. Why not pop in.
Here is hoping you all have a good Christmas and all the best for the New Year.

IMPORTANT NEWS
As from the beginning of 2020 we will be hosting our club night on a WEDNESDAY. It will on the third Wednesday of the month. We have been asked by the Cricket club to change our date. After a discussion with members at the club night it was decided this was acceptable and the decision to change days was agreed on a show of hands. Hope this is acceptable to all. We hope the change of day will mean more of you will be able to attend the monthly club night.
January club night will be 15th of the month.
We will be holding our AGM at this meeting. So please come and join us. It is your club and as we say every year we are only as good as our members. So come along and have your say. Good or bad. We can take it. Maybe you would like to join the committee or offer your support in some way.
Look forward to seeing you then. Remember it is Wednesday.

November club night.
We held a MR&MRS night. We invited couples from members to take part in answering questions about each other. It was an eye opener when we learned things about our fellow members that we previously did not know. Five couples agreed to take part (perhaps some persuading was employed). Thanks to all who took part. It was a fun night. With people admitting to being the sloppiest eaters to telling us they hated shopping and headed to the pub instead. The prize was two tickets to the Christmas party. The scores were incredibly tight and a tie breaker was needed to separate the top three couples. After which the winner won by only one point. Well done to all who took part.
We are continually asking members for articles for news letter and for those we have had I say a big thank you. You know who you are. Last month we received a “ghostly” story. Thankyou Keith. As space wouldn't allow us to publish in last months magazine as seemed appropriate copies were distributed at the monthly meeting. This article was enjoyed by members present. If you would like a copy let us know or take a look on the website.
Hope some of you will be inspired to write next year.

Motorists could rack up 9 points or even be disqualified from driving if their behaviour is deemed dangerous in addition to a fine.
If a pedestrian is killed due to a driver’s failure to indicate, a court could find the motorist to be guilty of dangerous driving.
According to the Highway Code, a driver must always “Warn and inform other road users including pedestrians of your intended actions.
