About 25 people from Jenny’s Companionship Group in Balclutha came together to celebrate their annual midwinter Christmas lunch last Thursday.

They enjoyed live music from local woman Colleen Hosking as well as Christmas crackers, jokes and a roast chicken meal together as they socialised.

Organiser Jenny Cameron said the roast chicken meal was ‘‘a good pairing for the cold weather’’ and she enjoyed hosting the occasion.

She thanked the people who helped make the lunch happen.
