AS might be expected, our December meeting had a Christmas theme: each member brought a plate of festive food, wine and sparkling juice flowed freely, Maureen provided a Christmas quiz and we finished with carols round the (electronic!) piano. Members had also contributed to St Luke’s Hospice, in lieu of sending cards, and had collected toiletries, toys, Christmas goodies and cash for Thurrock Women’s Refuge.

THURROCK LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY

THE Christmas meeting was a convivial occasion with a variety of buffet items provided by the members and wine and soft drinks supplied by the society. The entertainment was varied, including a reminiscence of being evacuated during the Second World War by Eileen Webb, the story of her father’s eventful life by Kathy Ostler and a hilarious version of the poem The Green Eye of the Little Yellow God, declaimed by Brian Burton, wearing various hats depending on whether he was Mad Carew or the Colonel’s daughter, plus amusing interruptions from Ken Levy and Derek Austin to complicate the story.
