December was a busy one with lots of Christmassy events going on - take a look at the photos 🎅
Most of our Christmas Parties took place along with meet ups and Christmas outings! (sorry Ayrshire Dads - we’ll make up for it in January!)
Thanks, as always, for your support — we couldn’t do any of this without you.
