Nearly 100 members attended this years Christmas Party in our elegant Parramatta Town Hall. Judy Joyce organised the party with the help of Margaret Green and a mob of other willing and able helpers.
Members were treated to a hot christmas meal and desert.

All tables were decorated with christmas items made by our Club's Craft Group...great effort!

As well as organising the Christmas lunch, Judy wandered around and took pics.......

Colin and Audrey joined Josie and John for the lunch.
Audrey and John started work together at the Department of Motor Transport in Macquarie Street, Sydney in 1949 and found each other a few years ago and are now good pals at ComputerPals.

The lunch was a fitting end to another full and successful year at Parramatta Computer Pals for Seniors!
