            |  | The two provided the remaining evenings entertainment for
            those still awake at the hut.  Later still, plenty of hugging went on, and Ben had a
            massage from Helen.  Dawn meanwhile taking advantage, located Bens Tia Maria and
            shared it all around. 
 Sunday Bill and Ben walked along the Aberglaswyn falls with Justin and Gary, 4km of flat
            gentle exercise.

            |  | Xmas Party, December 5-7th
 This year the committee decided that for the Christmas party we would have a meal at a
            Bistro in Beddgelert. It would make a nice change and allow the committee to relax a bit
            more. So following mulled wine and mince pies back at the centre, 19 of the 23 attending
            the meet duly headed off to the Bistro.
 
 Taking up two tables a fantastic meal was served up for all who attended. Two of the group
            decided that they would work through the alphabet as they choose each
              succeeding round of
            drinks. They shall remain anomonous, but published above are the pictures of Bill &
            Ben.
 
 As each round arrived the rest of the group realised what was going on.  The bar
            staff found the challenge to be a fine one as they tried to think of suitable drinks
            beginning with the various letters.  This was almost a downfall of the plot as they
            struggled to think of a drink for 'F', fortunately an Italian Liqueur
              came to the
            rescue.
 
 Various opinions  were made as to how far they would get.  Would it be
            'L',  Justin would buy the round,  'O' Dawn would buy the drinks, 'S' Anne would
            buy the drinks.  They thought they'd be safe, little did they know the drinking
            history of the two involved.  Minute by minute, hour by hour the letters were
            reached.  Dawn tried to get them to give up "If you get to 'O' then you can come
            back to the hut and play with us", it failed.
 
 The two reached 'P', and six others joined them in the Port. After this point the others
            left for hut with Alphie. The car was full, but he would return for Bill and Ben.
 
 When he returned they were on Sloe Gin, this was going all the way.  Alphie stayed
            and watched, curious to see if they made it  Yes they went all the way to 'Z', even
            in the two did fall over and chunder a few minutes later at mention of the bill, one in
            the Bistro and one at the hut
