A Crackin’ Christmas Lunch

 

Early December, Cafe 1879 hosted YMCA Gym’s Annual Christmas Lunch where 29 of our members attended, enjoying an afternoon of celebrations and a delicious 3-course meal.

Our Senior Gym Instructor, Kay, organises the event every year for our older active members who attend Gentle Exercise, Healthy Hearts and Zumba Gold.

The Christmas lunch is a great way for our members to get together, socialise and enjoy a lovely homecooked festive meal. Everyone commented on how tasty the food was and what wonderful service they received from the cafe team, not to mention the excellent value for money!
