This function operated in an area used as a public café which as well as providing a safe area for lonely people to meet was a source of income provided by the paying general public. The Covid-19 pandemic restrictions meant this activity was suspended for the whole year. - 2) Christmas Day Dinner – As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and its associated restrictions our traditional Christmas Day dinner could not be offered in its usual format.
