Being competed for two sheets away from the final of the "Crabbie Trophy" meant that Graeme in his celtic/rangers outfit was unusually restrained with his VERY LOUD "vuvuzela" . This years winner of the best costume (or supplies) went to Jillian for providing her team with their horses (which looked positively demented when attached to their brooms and sweeping action applied!).
There was the usual amount of confusion / befuddlement / arguments while interpreting the rules (and a few rules and changes being applied on the fly) but the event was enjoyed by all. It was particularly good to see so many of our new members in attendance including some returnees from last season. We hope the mental scarring will heal soon. It was also very gratifying to see John Niven return as a spectator and kindly supply the first round of drinks.
Quote of the Day/Season goes to Mike Wood with "I didn't expect Julia to strike" - It closely edged Julia's comment of "I think I will strike"
The afternoon was rounded off with an enjoyable Xmas dinner.
All events must produce a winner and this year it went to the aforementioned 4 Horsepersons, namely Julia, John G, Gillian and Susanne. Sorry there no pies (or out of date chocolates) on this one but they each got to make off with the now traditional re-cycled Salvers.
