Twink Gates, British Club Publicity
On Dec. 5, 22 members of the British Club enjoyed a Ladies’ and Gentlemen’s Christmas Coffee Morning at the home of Twink Gates-Zimdar and Bob Zimdar. Freshly baked mince pies, sausage rolls, quiche, a cheese plate and crackers, coconut macaroons, Belgian chocolate cookies, Hershey’s Kisses, peppermint chocolate bark, fresh strawberries, and grapes were served with coffee and, of course, tea!
Ethel Willmot distributed her homemade, delicious Christmas puddings to members who had placed orders earlier in the year. Finalizing the holiday morning, they all sat around the fire with the Christmas tree and sipped a prosecco mimosa toast, wishing everyone very happy holidays, and a happy, healthy New Year 2022.
Everyone thanked Twink and Bob for inviting them into their home for this very enjoyable Christmas Coffee Morning and book exchange.
Eventually, after the COVID restrictions have eased more, the British Club will resume their game afternoons every second and fourth Friday of the month. They will have a social event in the bar area at the SaddleBrooke Clubhouse, which includes the following activities: canasta, Mexican Train, and maybe bridge from 1 p.m. until around 4 p.m. This is followed by a social hour and a bar meal.
