District After Christmas Christmas Dinner for Leaders

On Saturday 2nd February the District Annual "After Christmas, Christmas Dinner" took place at the Portobello Scout HQ. It was great evening starting off with a traditional Christmas dinner of Turkey, Pork and trimmings, then a choice of sweets Christmas Pudding, Pavlova and Trifle followed by Coffee and Mince Pies. After a short period to let things settle, we joined in some party games namely Pass the Parcel game with a difference, the parcels where balls which you passed to each other when the music was playing, when it stopped the persons who had one of the balls had to take a layer off and follow the instructions on the forfeit. To avoid having to take a layer off the ball quite a lot of fast balls where whistling around whilst the music was playing. Another game was a bit like bingo. Each person had to bring a small wrapped gift with them. Everybody then sat in a circle and were given a single bingo card. As the bingo numbers where read out, if you had one on your card you could go and collect anybody else's present, this continued until a full line was completed. At this point the game ended and if you had any presents in front of you, they were yours. We had 3 quiz sheets to fill in and our table did very well. It was an excellent evening and a once a great time was had by all.
