Club Christmas Function
9th December, 2017
9th December, 2017
Another year has passed by in the blink of an eye. It seems like only a few months ago we were organising our 2016 Club party and now here we are - 2017 is over. Very little preparation and setup this year - just the way the Main Committee like it..... The guys at Big Bendi cleaned up for us, and at the Clubhouse, we just needed to tip out the ice from the esky’s, push the chairs back in to place and it’s pretty much done.
Big Bendi Waterpark were our hosts this year and from all reports it was a very popular choice for everyone that came along. From 12 noon members began arriving at the picturesque bushland setting just 10 minutes from the CBD. Many of our guests had not been here before and commented just how good it was. From the big waterslide, the kids pool, tables, chairs, umbrellas, clean BBQ, free food, free drinks – it was all there. The oldies enjoyed it, and the teens and the toddlers had a ball. As you’d expect, Santa was as popular as ever with the kids. Thanks for taking the time out of your schedule to visit us.
It was great to see heaps of kids loving the waterslide and even some of the adults took a liking to the feeling of being ‘out of control’ as they rocketed down the waterslide. Apparently E does equal mc2. No-one died, but there was some screaming. Might need to book it again for next year.
From 6pm we headed back to the Clubhouse, filled up the esky’s and as the sun went down on another function we fired up the barbie, lit the open fire and sat around talking stuff till the wee hours of the morning. And to top off the night we watched the original Mad Max movie in surround sound on the big screen. Nice.
Kim awarded the President’s Choice trophy this year to Wayne for his dedication and involvement, and several gift vouchers were awarded to deserving members for their contribution to running of the Club. To these guys, and to the others that always put their hands up to do extra, we thank you. The Club is what it is because of you.
Have a Merry Christmas everyone, see you next year!
