New Year's Eve Party
We celebrate the arrival of the new year with drinks, bridge, supper, and fireworks (well, on TV).
At the start of 2001, we ran a speedball from midnight to 12.30am and winners, based on speed and scores, were Don Mullineux & Mary Harrington, who have not met received any challenges to our claim that they were the first duplicate winners of the new millennium.
