Here are some of my efforts:

First shows attempts to fiddle the raffle so that moderators do not win anything . - THEY DID NOT SUCCEED!
(old joke for those that have not attended earlier meets)

The conspirators have a quick puff outside

John prepares to take a picture of Lyn, if he can catch her

Thank you for posting photos of the Christmas meet up, loved looking through them, you all look like you had a jolly time. Oh and thank you for naming some of the faces .

What a great time Gina (The Girl from Guildford St) had at the forum today, and I look forward to the next one already. What a great venue. Congratulations to Astoness on winning my book in the raffle, and I hope you enjoy it! I have a 2019 diary, and am doing bookings for talks on my book next year. They are free, and the proceeds go to charity, so do contact me if you know any group who are interested. And here is my sister at a Lucas's Christmas party. A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all xx

A great meet Paul and I enjoyed ourselves. Thanks to all the photographers - I now have several of photos of my husband who always refuses to have his photo taken. I feature on a few as well. Paul says "I will see you next time".
