The DVD compiled by Shirley and Joan of photos from our visit to Anne's beautiful spring garden in September was shown and then presented to Anne as an expression of appreciation. We saw the photos from the Ngarua Caves trip followed by a photo story by Coralie of the year's themes entitled, Let's Go On a Journey. The latter a great recap of a very interesting 2012. The end of year 'card' competitions, judged by Linley and Shirley, were won by Joy and Lawrine, and the 'gift' category by Lois, with a photo print calico bag. The committee put on a Christmas afternoon tea and instead of having an exchange of gifts, a box for donations to the Salvation Army Food Bank was filled to overflowing. Norah wished everyone a Merry Christmas and thanked them for their support throughout the year. The first meeting for 2013 is on Friday, 1 February. A warm welcome to our new members: Malcolm Ferguson Janet Wesley-James Norma George Murray Delany
