On Sunday 15 December, members of Kilby village enjoyed a Christmas drink and some amazing food, at the home of Anne and John Emery, as a ‘thank you’ for all the support we have had during 2024. As a special treat, we heard ‘Jingle Bells’ and ‘Good King Wenceslas’ played on the piano by eight year old Ahaan Mittal, a sterling performance!

You may have heard of Dale Carnegie (1888-1955). He was an American writer and lecturer best known for his books on self-improvement. His three most famous are ‘How to Stop Worrying and Start Living’, ‘How to Win Friends and Influence People’ and ‘How to Develop Self-Confidence and Influence People by Public Speaking’.

Many thanks to Roger Garratt for his unusual challenge which helped us to stay MENTALLY FIT in the run up to Christmas.

The final meeting of the year was a festive occasion filled with holiday spirit and creativity. On our arrival the tables were set with an array of greenery, a candle and a florist’s tray. Each member eagerly set to work applying their floral skills to arrange the materials in a way that reflected their personal style.
