Xmas
Dinner / Dance  6th
December 2008

Firstly let me apologise for the
quality of the food. Well I guess what else should we
expect for $22 over three courses.  Maybe next year if we decide to do it
again we’ll pick a different menu.

It was really good to get such a large
group of club members, partners and some rugrats together for an evening of
drinking / dancing and enjoying each others company. In total all current members,
less six,  were able to get there
which I think was a really great effort considering some of those present came
from afar as Leopold, Kyneton and Healesville.

We also had a few past members roll up
who rolled up on the night and even felt that they had missed us so much that
they re-joined the club.

Some thanks to Santa ( aka Ron Bastin ) for presenting the children present with
special gifts on the night. I know it took a few extra drinks to cool down
after your stint – that suit must be hot – but I’m glad you
kept your clothes on underneath. The though of santa parading around commando
style really disturbs me.

Thanks also to returned member Dave
West for running his DJ system.

Lastly I must say sorry for inflicting
upon those members who were still there late in the night demonstrations of my
poor dancing and karaoke skills – the wine made me do it !. But I had a
great time. ( Even woke up in half reasonable shape
the next day )

Have a great Xmas and a safe and happy
new year – see you all on a ride soon – actually Harrietville most
likely, which promises to be bigger than Ben Hur !!. ( see last years Harrietville ride report )
