South American Christmas Party - December 16, 2015

The end of a year, and an era. As people arrived for The Couch End of Year Christmas Party (with a South American Theme), they were all given a small card with an address printed. What some may not have realised was this address had The Couch's new home printed on it. This party would be the last night The Couch would see at Hamodava Cafe, its home for the last five years!
