The annual "Christmas Tiddley" was held at Don's Farm in West Dapto, for those who have not been there it is a beautiful spot with a rivulet nearby and plenty of space for children to play various activities as well as adults who wish to burn off a few calories. The event was another well organised turnout with plenty of food for all that included both Scottish and Australian fare, drinks, need we say any more of course there were drinks it was a Scottish Tiddley not a Sunday Morning Church Service. "Big Bill" also entertained during the afternoon with a song or three on the guitar.
