It was our traditional holiday gathering. Plenty of music, wonderful conversation and good cheer. It all took place on Wednesday, December 20th, 2017 at the Bala Golf Club.
Your MC for the afternoon was Broadcast Pioneers member "Santa" Bob Charger, local radio personality. You don't want to miss him. Bob will be there wearing a complete Santa suit and hat. Seeing this alone was certainly worth the trip.
