December got off to a healthy start with 11 of us walking along the Thames from Richmond to Syon Park for lunch and retail therapy.  This was followed by a fantastic Christmas party which of course included Secret Santa presents and crackers, enjoyed by all.  There was another longer walk from Wargrave to Henley with some lovely views of the Thames and the deer park at Rememham.  Café Club continues to be popular on Monday afternoons and tennis on Tuesday mornings.  And finally there was a morale boosting walk around Gladstone Park on Christmas Eve, which set us up nicely for the rigours of Christmas Day!
