*This date is the new, changed date. The date in the calendars is incorrect.

Festive dress. 6:00pm- 7:30pm.

Please bring items for food bank. Christmas baking is also welcome!

Players are welcome to dress up in festive colours, naturally, and we will play Christmas carols.

There is a piano available, so pianists and any other musicians in your family are welcome to showcase their talents as well. The more, the merrier!
