Quite A Year

And so – we reached the last session of 2024 and we’ve made it to number 77! Thanks to everyone that has attended over the past year and helped to make it such an enjoyable run. This visit to Wharf Chambers didn’t feel quite as bonkers as some previous December sessions – but everyone had a great time by the look of things. We were unfortunately down to only one deck due to needle trouble and not having any spares. We all seemed to cope OK – and it certainly removed the risk of any attempts at fancy mixing...
