Christmas Night Out 5/12/08

Busy weekend starting with the Christmas Bash which
was a great success. Not only a huge bargain but lots of fun in a good
venue. Much dancing and drinking. Very well done to Shelagh and co for
organising such an event and having it run so smoothly. Any incriminating
photos can be sent here for publication, as ever. Very good food which
turned out not to be the rumoured treats on sticks from Iceland but
a good carbo-loading plateful eshewing the customary xmas school dinner
so prevalent at this time of the year. For those with a race the following
day the liberal amounts of wine on the tables proved dangerous, and
my plan to sober up by drinking only white wine wasn't a complete success.
The only thing lacking was a chill out room for those who wished to
chat without having to bellow over the very loud music. We were all
very hoarse next morning. Lots of fun.


Gordon chats to Tony - by the look of it - about running


Discussing next day race tactics - bottle of mineral
water: good idea. Wine glasses: bad idea

Scott demonstrates Highland dancing...

...and Kung Fu

air guitars on the dance floor

blah blah blah newt-like
