Christmas 2007 Reunion

As usual we held the reunion at The New Aston Social Club. On this occasion the numbers were small but the quality was high. The evening was supplemented by the St Joseph's Church Choir singing carols, Dave Haynes providing a humorous spot, with jokes, Joe Harford with his entertaining quiz. All this was soundly supported by Len Shields with his excellent background disco, which actually got people on their feet at the end of the evening. A great vote of thanks to them all.

It should be mentioned that many of those attending provided prizes for the raffle.
