A rowdy crowd of about 35 Paluma residents attended the Tropical BBQ as the last social event on the PDCA calendar for 2022. As always, Paluma’s great cooks outdid themselves with a banquet of dishes for all to enjoy. The dessert table alone was something to behold. Josh and Don on the BBQ did a splendid job in cooking everyone’s dinner. The tropical theme of the night was embraced with gusto, judging from the number of very loud shirts and other attire around the hall. Palm trees, pineapples and tropical flowers were definitely the fabric of choice on the night. A great night was had by all with lots of chatter and a good chance to catch up with friends and neighbours before the Christmas season.
