Editorial --------- Christmas is coming ... The GEA Christmas Dinner takes place again (as in 2006) in our "Stammtisch Room" =E2=80=93 on Saturday the 15th December this year! YES, we will have a Christmas Carol Sing-Along the evening before at the Stammtisch again. Come early - from 18:30 - and you can help us decorate the room a little for Christmas. And YES, the meal on Saturday will have ALL the traditional trimmings, and the Rechthaler Hof are serving us three courses; soup, turkey plus, and a GEA-Special home-made dessert to round it off! Last year proved to be a special time for all 45 diners: make sure of your ticket as soon as you can. ----------------------------------------------------- Merry Christmas and a happy New Year 2008 to you all! ----------------------------------------------------- The GEA programme team and committee. :-) What's on this month -------------------- Sunday 2.12. : Fast Walk Get the details of his Fast Walk from Julian: Julian - 2326 9371 / 0175 109 6138 or gea-walk@@berklix.org Sunday 2.12. : Evergreen Dance Dance to the 'Evergreen Serenaders' from 15:00 to 18:00.
