Festive Lunch

Christmas lunch 1

On Thursday 27th November, sixty-five members gathered together at the Old Links Golf Club. On arrival at the warm and welcoming venue we were able to chat with friends and find out where we were seated. Having all, some months ago, made our menu choices, it was a relief to find that Maggie, the event organiser, had brought with her the slips of paper we had completed. We could order drinks from the bar and settle down to enjoy the rest of the afternoon.
As usual, Jeanette and her team served our 3 course meal with friendly efficiency. This was followed by a hot drink and mince pies. Lots of chat and catching up took place. Maggie thanked the staff and gave them a suitable gratuity.

Frank followed this by informing everyone that this would be the last time Maggie would be organising our Christmas Meal, having carried out this task since December 2018. In recognition Maggie was presented with a ‘Goody Bag’ from the Committee. An extremely enjoyable time was had by all and a last thank you to Charlie who took time to take some lovely photographs.

SoFA Festive Lunch 2022

Decorations

The SoFA festive lunch 2022 for our members was held at the Waterfront Hotel (previously known as The Bliss Hotel) at the beginning of December. This provided an ideal winter warmer in comfortable surroundings with time for catching up with friends. 

The dining room was decorated in an assortment of colourful and sparking trees and stars.  The clear blue sky and a bright winter sun added to the attractive panoramic surrounding in the dining room.

Sunglasses were an asset!  As usual, the table layout enabled friends to lunch together as well as enjoy the company of other members.  

Our event organiser Maggie and the hotel chef provided a menu selection to suit all tastes – vegetarian, traditional, and lots between. 

Starting with the popping of Christmas crackers, the good food and service and great atmosphere ensured a friendly and fitting end to SoFA’s 2022 activity programme.  Congratulations to Maggie. 

As members of the National Trust and SoFA we know how to have a good time throughout the year, partaking in a variety of events and outings.

We all look forward to our next get together on Saturday 14 January at United Reformed Church, Formby.  Visitors welcome!
