Well... Wren never would’a thought it. The Octagon Room rocked to the sounds of Soulful Voices who entertained us astronomically and right royally with (some of) their excellent repertoire of soul, gospel and jazz. Over 25 FAS members came to the Christmas party on December 13, having to struggle through traffic mayhem on Blackheath on the way. Much good cheer was consumed, together with appropriately pre-packaged Christmas fare, all of course properly disposed-of later, according to health & safety regulations! What a piece of work is man. Just when nobody wanted it, Mike started the quiz rolling and reduced the proceedings to stunned silence. Maybe some of the questions were a bit stiff... and there were probably too many... Ah well. You can’t win em all. Death threats on postcards please, to... Congratulations to the worthy winners who untangled some of the more cryptic clues. An excellent time was had by all. Many thanks to Robert for the kind words, and Linn and Jane for all the hard work. God bless us, every one! Mike D
