Christmas @ CROYDON
CHRISTMAS @ CROYDON CONTINUED
Our Christmas Jingle Jam is always a joyful, festive occasion that helps everyone get into the spirit of the season. It is a delight to watch the children decorate the Lifestyle Christmas Tree and to see their faces light up when Father Christmas arrives to hand out presents.
Brendan & Narda McIIMurray
Last year, Father Christmas made a particularly spectacular entrance in a vintage sidecar! The children were also treated to gift boxes and milkshakes, very generously donated by Brendan and Narda McIIMurray.
Without detracting from this very special occasion, it would be remiss not to acknowledge the passing of Brendan. His presence is missed, and the emptiness of the chair he so often filled at the “bar” on Friday nights is felt by all who knew him.
GRAPE STOMPING
The biggest and most anticipated event of the year was held on Saturday, 14 February, bringing plenty of fun for everyone involved. Both adults and children joined in the excitement, stomping grapes and enjoying the festive atmosphere. The band, Akkedis, kept the crowd entertained with lively music, and a selection of food trucks offered a variety of options to suit every taste. Fortunately, the wind didn’t disrupt the festivities; instead, it provided a welcome relief from the heat! CLICK HERE to view the video of the grape stomping event.
