Today was a busy session. Lisa brought in some red eggs which she had cooked the night before. This is a Greek tradition with the red eggs and Lisa explained that they could hit the eggs amongst themselves until there is one winter egg or they could take their eggs home and decorate the eggs with the picture transfers which Lisa provided to everyone. Most preferred the latter option.

The session then followed with Kevin doing his Family Fortunes game with members which is always great fun.

At this point 2 students arrived. Karish from QE Boys who wants to be a doctor and Eva from Woodhouse College who wants to volunteer. They will be attending to volunteer during the holidays.

 Lisa then cleared one of the tables to prepare and turn on the Tovertafel. This was the first session after the recent launch. Chairs were put around the table and members sat and enjoyed the games. There was so much fun, members did not want to get away. The Tovertafel will be used every week.
