Details as promised for the Christmas Party

6 December 2009
Meeting at Butterfly House at the Mount Cootha Botanical Gardens at 11am, and we'll go on from there at around 11.30 to find a picnic location. If you haven't arrived by 11.30, you might have to call me to find us!

Bring:
Your secret santa present!
Your santa hat/reindeer ears for photos
BYO drinks, whether bubbly or otherwise, I would definitely bring plenty of water.

Lunch plan was as follows:
Narelle - Ham
David - Salads
Nathan - a Desert
Jane - Fruit
Rebecca - Breadrolls and Christmas Pudding/Cake
Cherie - Creme de menthe pie (aka Soylene Green Pie!)
Angela - Chicken

We'll be playing graces, french cricket (of course - cricket for Christmas is a must!) and apparently there will be Christmas Carols as well..... (Not sure whose idea that was)

The picnic is also open to whoever would like to come, newcomers are more than welcome, and if you have family/friends that would enjoy an opportunity to dress up for an xmas party, please bring them too!

hmmm.. yesterday and today the temps have been glorious... but dont let these next couple of days of cool catch you unaware as the mercury is set to rise again on Sunday, with 30-33 expected.

We're going to bring a change of clothes in case it gets too stifling wearing our costumes!

The most important piece of clothing we wear is our expression!

Hey everyone! If today was somethign to go by, it is going to be a clear day tomorrow so don't forget to protect your skin with sunscreen (I will most likely take mine with me if anyone forgets) and to stay hydrated! Drink plenty of water!

Looking forward to seeing everyone in their costumes!

See you all tomorrow! laugh.gif

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to say that I had a really good time and that I'm so glad I came to it. As you probably knew that I had really bad news and was feeling down. It was just so great to be around such wonderful, positive and jovial friends.

As I was driving home I had a smile on my face and realized that it's because of all you fantastic, positive people that I love being in the Qld Chapter of the ACG.

Merry Christmas to all, you are all Angels.

Love, David
