CHRISTMAS<br />
PARTY<br />

The final event for the year was<br />
the Christmas function held at the<br />
Clubrooms on Sunday 6th December.<br />
The clubrooms were full and all<br />
appreciated the hard work done by those<br />
who made it so successful, particularly<br />
Pat Walker and Bev Clydesdale who<br />
stepped in at the last minute to ensure<br />
the event was held. They were ably<br />
assisted by husbands John and Ron,<br />
and others in the decoration and<br />
preparation of the Clubrooms – and then<br />
the cleanup afterward!<br />
This year the catering was “bring a plate<br />
to share” and there was a wide range of<br />
food available to start the annual festive<br />
tradition of over eating! Next year we<br />
may try a different approach, and I am<br />
open to suggestions as to its form.<br />
Although the day was quite hot, our<br />
newly installed ceiling fan coped well<br />
with the heat and the cooling breezes<br />
it created ensured a comfortable<br />
environment.<br />
The traditional “Cent Auction” initiated<br />
by Elaine Hamilton was an unqualified<br />
success with donated prizes ranging<br />
from the highly sought after Christmas<br />
cakes and puddings made by Dianne<br />
Davies to a range of broken tools and<br />
toys found by Don Webster as he was<br />
cleaning out his shed. Max Johnson<br />
performed the role of MC as the prizes<br />
were drawn. All lucky winners seemed<br />
happy with their prizes and thanks go to<br />
the donors of the other items.<br />
