Re: SnowBall...Is that a military thing or just a Greenwood thing? We were asked to join those in recent years, but we're antisocial. lol  ;D

I don't think it is just a Greenwood thing, it is the first place we have taken part though.  It is a lot of fun, a good way to see the neighbours and get into the Christmas spirit

Re: SnowBall...Is that a military thing or just a Greenwood thing?

If it is fun and exciting, i guarantee that it is not a Greenwood thing.
