2011 closed with a small but very enjoyable winter adventure on Leith Hill. Despite the countryside being ravaged by plague (that is, everybody and his dog being ill!), we few survivors battled our way to the Tower of Plenty, where we bought orange squash and then did an impromptu display for about 20 passers-by – who seemed to enjoy the spectacle.

Later on we enjoyed a sumptuous banquet with slow-cooked mutton, fine pates and other goodies, and plenty of ale and songs. Many thanks to the Westmen.

The calendar for next year is starting to take shape, though there are still plenty of spaces for any member who would like to run an event – especially if anybody who hasn’t run an event before would like to have a go.
