All members have been emailed a Christmas gift - an arrangement and set of variations by Karen Marshalsay of Love Came Down at Christmas. Check your inboxes (and also your spam folders in case it has ended up in there....). We've had a couple of addresses bounce back to us so if you've not received anything then get in touch and remember to keep us updated of any change of contact details.

Merry Christmas!
