Hello Callies.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL! ! !

At the beginning of this New Year the committee would like to take this opportunity to wish all our fellow Caledonians a prosperous 2010 May all your dreams come true this year. Due to my Mum going into Hospital for a small operation on her eye today, I’m doing this month’s Newsletter so please bare with me.

Past Functions:

Ladies Afternoon                                                                                                                                  
Our Ladies had a wonderful afternoon on 12^th December. Each Lady brought a gift , there was a great level of excitement when we exchanged gifts. Thank you to all those who took part it was good fun. We took a moment and remembered our Past Chief and fellow Caledonian Dorothy, whose birthday was on the same day.

St Andrews Lunch
Our St Andrews function took place on Sunday 13^th December 2009. We had a wonderful turn out from our members and a lovely lunch. Our Provincial Chief attended the lunch, addressed us and toasted St Andrew. Thanks once again Dave for the effort you made to attend our function, we really enjoyed your visit and look forward to seeing you again in the near future.

Christmas Draw.                                                                                                                
Our Annual Christmas draw was held on the 16^th December 2009 and a great time was had by all. Thank you once again to all those who donated prizes, and supplied a plate of eats, they were delicious. We used this opportunity to remember one of our Honoury Members Boet von Plaster. We asked Marie to unveil his Plaque, a special moment for her.

NEW YEARS EVE PARTY                                                                                                     
The club opened at 20h00 on the 31^st Dec. And once again it was a fabulous evening. Without arranging anything a tall dark stranger entered the building just after 12 with a drink in his hand. I believe the drink should have been a bottle of whisky but we’ll forgive Jamie Docherty. It was pleasant to see him and wish him well in 2010.
