AFO X-Mas Party 2010

[Angus]

Thanks to everyone who came along to the AFO X-mas.

Despite the weather it was an awesome day for myself so I hope everyone else had a good time. For lots of people it was there first AFO X-mas and for others their 4th which is awesome to see!

Great to see such a rich family environment as well, good on all the parents who got along with the whole family. The gifts from Santa looked much appreciated.

Ill take this opportunity as well to thank everyone that contributed to AFO, attended an event or social, entered one of our online comps and helped us raise money for various chartities in 2010. A of new faces have appeared at our our events this years bolstering the already numerous stalwarts which is awesome!

Its been a great year and we look forward to a brilliant 2011!

What is doing in that pic?????

No wonder my hat is so upright ;-)

Was a wet and soggy day, almost having to engage low range on the shoes to get to the BBQ shelter. But once there was good times, good laughs, and good to meet some more new faces.

Thanks to the admins, mods and members of AFO for making 2010 a great year fishing wise, and roll on next year.

And....... so looking forward to BBQ redclaw for dinner at work tonight. Thanks Ray!!

I second you Booty, has been a great year, finished off with a good sesh down at Sherwood. Ha ha, that means I am running out of time to fulfill my 2010 wishlist, I believe all that is left is a jack, jew and 50cm+ bass.

Cheers,

Ryan.

It was great to catch up with you all again. The boys had an awesome time playing in the rain and mud. It is coming up to a year as a member with AFO and I am really glad I found the site. Awesome friendly people with the same passion as I have how good is that. Merry Xmas Everybody

Twas finally a pleasure to meet and greet the cast of AFO, a very nice community. Looking forward to more events and fishing. Bugger that rain :evil:

Will there be anymore rounds of AFO shirts soon? Need to represent.

[ellicat]

It was great while it lasted.

Cheers to Dassa for giving me the biggest fright since Moparkev crept up and screamed at me in the river one night.

Thanks to booty for putting him up to it.

Thanks to the rain for the timely contribution it made to enable me to have boiled chicken on my burger.

Thanks again to Dassa for putting my beer up out of reach when a few of us skipped over the hill to scope out the river.

Thanks to IT Henry for giving me technology tips for the new phone (even after I greeted him with redclaw wet hands)

Thanks to the mad scotsman for the esky full of claw.

Thanks to everyone that came and shared a drink and a laugh.

Thanks to Tooheys for letting me have a good time at the pub and also the opportunity to educate a greeny whilst there :whistle:

Here's some pics -

Hulk waited for his present, but wasn't too impressed when one didn't come his way. Here is the start of his tantrum with Angus trying to settle him

Here he was getting a little uptight beforehand. Shooing away the other children. :ohmy:

Probably (?) Maxi's first ever XMas present. :woohoo:

(I'll be retired when he has his first legal beer at the 2028 AFO XMas get together):dry:

Angus tried to keep appearances up.

But in the end it suffered the droop.

(Make a good new avatar, mate...just for XMas time) :laugh:

Merry Christmas

Nice one ellicat.

I can now put this aside for my political campaign

Johnus: Regarding shirts. I reckon there could easily be another run in January as there has been quite a bit of demand via PM by people who have now seen them in the flesh. Ill keep everyone posted.

Ellicat,

That's a great shot.Gees those pictures could carry all sorts of scripts with them. After taking the scenic route to get there, it was good to see some more of the AFO crew considering how poor the conditions were weather wise on the day. Thanks to Ray for the redclaw. A good time had by all even though the kids were absolutely soaked,they loved every minute of it.

Was great to catch up with some old faces, and meet some new.

Thanks Ray for the redclaw! BBQ'd them that night in a garlic,butter and white wine sauce. They were a treat!

Hope to catch up again with u all

[Terry H]

Looks like a good time was had!

On the contrast: reading Auditing standards is pretty freaking boring.

[dassa]

A BIG thanks to angus for getting this happening even if the weather was less then ideal it was good to see so many people. Thanks to ray for the red claw the misses loves them and more to the point thanks to jono (SCOPE) for suppling the bbq I didn't feel like standing in the rain cooking my steak and snaggs

[kreel]

Sorry we couldn't make it this year - we were seduced by tales of Mackerel and Cobia on the Goldie.

It seems you all had a good time and Booty got a little too excited (nothing new). Did Pussca really try to palm off the number 1 son to Gus? You're a BAD man Puss.

Merry Christmas everyone and a Fishy New year to all.

Kreel and Tacklebox
