Room full, bellies filled

Don and Janette Osborne sat up and took the takings as the masses entered Wesley Hall.

The room was bustling with warmth and chatter as attendees gathered for St. Andrew’s Uniting Church’s Crazy Whist afternoon on Sunday.

Held in the cozy Wesley Hall, the event offered a delightful escape from the winter chill for locals.

Promptly at noon, the hall filled with the inviting aroma of homemade soups and freshly prepared sandwiches. The split system heater worked its magic, and everyone enjoyed a selection of delicious soups, perfectly suited for the cold weather, alongside an array of hearty sandwiches.

The communal meal fostered a sense of connection setting the stage for the afternoon’s activities.

Following the satisfying lunch, the excitement continued with a lively game of “Crazy Whist.”

This card game, known for its novelty and fun, encouraged interaction and laughter among participants.

Prizes were plentiful, adding an extra layer of enthusiasm to the friendly competition.

An assortment of homemade afternoon treats and hot beverages provided a perfect conclusion to the day’s festivities of great food, engaging games and warm community spirit which not only filled bellies but also hearts, proving once again that even the coldest winter days can be warmed by good food and good company.

Val Thorpe and Isla Davis fed the hungry attendees a bowl of hearty soup.
Enjoying their lunch together were Lynette Woods with David and Margret Valentin.
Ron and Gwen Hatcher tucked into lunch alongside David Adams.
Settled in for an afternoon of Crazy Whist last Sunday at St Andrews Uniting Church were Margaret Hiscock, Lyn Broersen, Peter Foden and June Manwill.
