Cheers and Merry Christmas to the Steering Group, who held their last meeting in the old hall at Christ Church yesterday afternoon. It was, finally, the opportunity to celebrate what has been achieved since October 2003 by a truly magnificent team. And boy, what a celebration. With Erica's Aga mince pies, Angela's mulled wine and other goodies which appeared along the way, everyone had a ball. A really great note to end the year on and so very well deserved. Everyone had fun! So very well done all you folks for all the good work you are doing for Darley and Lower Nidderdale. I might seem a bit of an odd character to most, but living close by I do feel a part of the local community. Wish I could have been there, but had a bit of tidying up to do in the den!
