.....right to paaaarrrttyyy!......

This invitation dropped throughthe door yesterday. I used to be the Chairman of a Hockey club...every year between Xmas and New Year I held the Chairman's Ball...a house party with Chilli and lots of alcohol. We used to go out for each other's birthday...although I've retired and so have sevseral others we're still mates and we keep up the meetings once or twice a year. This do should be special though....a barbecue...in the middle of winter! I've always wanted to do a BBQ on Boxing Day..but never got round to it...so I'm really looking forward to this party.
