The dining table, always well appointed and nicely set.
Starting to sit at the table, which is partly an organisational effort.
The diners are gathering.
Another flash picture! From left around the table: Brad, Sandy, Louise, Bill (standing), Judy, Margo and Doris (Bill's mum).
Serving is buffet style, so come and get it. From left, that's Doris at the table, with Margo. Then in the kitchen, left to right, David, Bill, Simon, Judy and Matthew.
Another long, hand held exposure, but it does show the wonderful selection available for our dining pleasure.
And the rush begins!
While everybody else digs in, the poor photographer has to wait to get this photo! Running clockwise around the table is David (back to camera), Matthew, Brad, Randy, Sandy, Louise (head just visible), Bill, Judy, Margo, Doris and Matthew.
Ah, that was a wonderful meal. Some of the participants are just there enjoying a quite conversation while dinner digests.
Randy starting the clean up work by dismembering the turkey, most of which was left uncarved. Bill was chief turkey cooker this year, and a good job too. In previous years, Sandy was the cook, but then we didn't know Bill at that stage. So Bill helped Sandy by being chief turkey cooker.
And my personal thanks to all involved - it was a truly wonderful day.
