Parkes Can Assist held its Christmas party at Eric's Table in Welcome Street on 2 December, with just under 50 people present.
The festivities even saw a visit from the big man in red himself, Santa (Kevin Dumesny) who kindly gives his time for many appearances like this at various community events and gatherings, and was available for photos on the night with the Can Assist crew.
Here are some of the faces we captured on the evening.
