Bookings were made in February for our Christmas in July celebrations.  Even then we had to settle for June as there were no vacancies for July.  How fortuitous!  Last Saturday, 18 members arrived at the Robertson Hotel at midday, enjoyed pre-lunch drinks by the open fire before being served a three course meal in our private room.  At 2pm the phones started ringing and conversation stopped.  Gladys was announcing a lockdown for the Greater Sydney, Blue Mountains and Wollongong/Shellharbour Regions.  Undeterred most people stayed on for more mulled wine, coffee, tea and even more red wine beside the fire.  Those who were organised even stayed overnight.  Next year we will have our annual Christmas in July in June!
