Members and guests gathered at the NLC on a rainy day in London for our annual Christmas tea. Our entertainment this year – A Christmas Cornucopia – was provided by four professional actors, reading a collection of monologues, some comic, some dramatic, written by Doreen Friend and presented and directed by Martin Cort. We then enjoyed a delicious tea, including fresh scones, mince pies and cake, with plenty of opportunity to mingle and chat. With a book table displaying members’ books, a gift table and a grand raffle, we were never short of something to do! There will be a full report and lots of photos in the New Year issue of The Woman Writer.
