Pot Luck Dinners
On the last Sunday of each month we hold a family Pot Luck Dinner. In other words, all members are invited to attend, bringing with them a 'contribution' to the evening meal.
It is an informal affair, with most families arriving about 5:00 pm. The food is served at 6:00 pm, and most of those with children get them home to bed by about 7:30 pm.
This function is generally well-attended, and good fun for all involved.
The kids enjoy the chance to run about, to mix with the adults, and to eat. The adults get a chance to catch with friends, and enjoy a drink and a good meal.
The food is almost invariably interesting, and a fascinating mix - curries to stews, roast chiken to bacon & egg pies, salads to pasta - everything is welcome, eaten and enjoyed.
By way of variation in summer we make one of these a Barbecue function, using the grounds of one of the local schools, so there access to toilets, water, and of course a playground for the kids.
And in winter we make one a "mid-winter Christmas" affair - mulled wine, and 'christmassy' food like mince pies, etc.
If you're in the area, why not join us?
