The Bourne Water Dragons celebrated Christmas at the Carlton Hotel with great food, music, dancing, and a raffle, in a beautifully decorated venue.

The Carlton Hotel on the East Overcliff made a super venue for the Bourne Water Dragons Christmas Party in December. Our private room with fabulous decorations, expertly arranged by Martin,(from Rubyz Cabaret) was the perfect place to entertain us.

The bubbly welcome drink and canapés were well received. The guests scrubbed up well out of their BWD kit. The tables looked stunning with decorations and hand-made place names, each having a surprise raffle ticket attached.

The three-course meal served by Kar and his team was excellent and the service superb.

Chris was the DJ for the night and his choice of music was the best. Dancing was followed by a raffle and party game with one winner donating her winnings to BWD "Teapot Fund". 

Thank you Louise.
