Kris Kringle 2016

Our annual holiday period book-swap has been a wild success this year, with 70 members coming from every single chapter, including our American brothers and some rural goons who play along from home, signing up to be involved in the holiday tradition.

Each year in December our goons sign up to send a book to a fellow TGBC guy they have never met and receive one from an anonymous source. Many of our lads take a book they love off their shelf and send it to a goon they don’t know hoping they will appreciate it as much as they did. This year we’ve seen a pile of great books both new and old sent by our guys from around the country and in some cases around the world.

Again it's been a great way to start the new year and we look forward to running it again at the end of 2017.

Happy Holidays.
