Mid-Month Breakfast – Luddenham Village Café

On Sunday, 14th December, 58 members and their families attended our final mid‑month breakfast at the Luddenham Village Café. Normally, we are a small group of around 15, but this month the numbers exploded! It must be Christmas!

We sincerely thank the staff and management of the café for a job well done — the service and food were well above expectations. We also took the opportunity to capture a group photo to send to our good friends at the Fiat 500 Club Italia in Garlenda, wishing all 26,000 members worldwide a happy and safe festive season. Of course, no Christmas celebration would be complete without a visit from Santa… and he did not disappoint!

Coincidentally, the 14th of December was also the birthday of our Club Historic Plates Registrar, Leo Di Rocco. To his surprise, Leo was presented with a beautiful birthday cake — Torta Bergamotto — generously offered by the Roccisano family of Pasticceria Siderno, in recognition of his birthday and his consistent, efficient processing of Club Historic Plate renewals. The cake was truly spectacular!

Adding to the festive spirit, member and café owner Daniel Berardinelli offered panettone for everyone. Thank you, Daniel — the Christmas spirit is alive and well within the IMSMC family!
