Our Christmas event this year was a buffet meal at The Slug & Lettuce - it was a very enjoyable night and we had many beginners in attendance, as well as some familiar faces that have been conspicuously absent from the dojo of late. Crackers were provided, and a veritable blizzard of small silver snowflakes were cast around throughout the evening. We should point out that it was the cheeky beginners that started it.
