Dozens of the area's older residents were treated to a sumptuous meal at the Annual BFC Christmas Luncheon, held in The Hive, at Griffin Park, last week. This event, now in its ninth season, was put on last Wednesday, 18 December, to mark a week to go until Christmas Day. More than 50 people from local church and community groups, as well as Lifeline members and attendees from Brentford FC Community Sports Trust programmes, enjoyed the festivities.

Attendees enjoyed a three-course meal, supplied by the Brentford FC catering staff, with traditional turkey on offer. The afternoon continued with guests singing Christmas carols playing bingo and taking part in a quiz compiled by Peter Gilham. Further entertainment was also enjoyed by the guests and there were goody bags to take away. Buzz Bee was on hand to join in the celebrations and a great time was had by all.

The Club would like to thank Levy UK, the official food and hospitality partner at Brentford Community Stadium, for their support of the event. They provided table decorations, mince pies and crackers to ensure the event went with a bang. Left over mince pies and decorations were donated to Hounslow Community FoodBox.
