PCC News:
Well I’m sure that those members who attended last night had a really fun evening just “messing around” with flashlights, light sabers and all the other odd lighting paraphernalia that had been organized for us!
Luckily Karen had organized several areas for us to “play” and yours truly managed to help out by swinging a torch around without actually taking anyone’s eyes out nor the adjacent TV Screen! Karen’s daughter Kayleigh and her pal Ash really made the evening special with her Storm Trouper outfit, so huge thanks for making this event happen!
Just a few FUN results shown here and head on over to our Facebook page for more.
