Overview
The members of Kingston & District Cine Club gather for their annual Christmas party. Music is provided in the form of a live band and many members enjoy a dance. Games follow, including a game involving rolling a ping pong ball down a string and then a hat-making game with the men making hats from paper and hair pins! A huge plate of sandwiches is passed round, we see a cheeky kiss for one club member under the mistletoe and the party closes with a rendition of Ould Lang Syne.
