My first since the restrictive days of Covid.
In BC (Before Covid) Coffee Mornings used to be regular events in my diary, but alas no more. So I am looking forward to speaking at this one run by Alverstoke Evangelical Church, Gosport in the building of Solent Evangelical Church.
My talk, ‘Christmas in three words.’

You can’t go wrong with fish and chips!
Thanks Mike Peach for letting us invade your house, Thanks to Stubbington Chippie for delivering the grub, thanks to Shaun Sweeney for sharing the real meaning of Christmas.
A great end to the year for ‘The Net’ and we restart on January 10th with a Curry Evening at Darjeeling – Park Gate Tandoori (yep, its a tough life some of us lead – lol)
