AFO Christmas Party Poll

[ellicat]

If you are free on the date (yet to be set), will you attend this year's AFO Christmas Party ?

The usual is lunch, :cheer: then arvo drinks, :silly: then the revelers kick on at the same venue or someone's place. :woohoo: :sick: :silly: :side:

Full reports of the latter nights activities rarely are made on-line :whistle:

[Angus]

Of course. If I am around

[ellicat]

PS

Partners are welcome too

[rayke1938]

Probably but definite if venue is Victoria Point sharks or reddy pub.

It is time that the southern baysiders were catered for.

Cheers

Is that why Runty keeps scoring deckie spots on Ted's boat .................

I still haven't met Ellicat or too rad yet so I'm keen, plus Jarryds good for a couple of rumbos.

If Santa doesn't show we can sit on Ray's knee.

I've been practicing drinking all year and I reckon I'm ready for this

I was stuck on a boat with the both of them for 5 days. Ellicat is alright, but Damien tried to get us beached on the first day by getting drunkenly belligerent with the skipper at the very early hour of 8am. This was a major trial for the skipper as the deckhand had taken an entirely unacceptable 15 seconds to hand the skipper his morning coffee because said deckhand had been entertaining two nuisance passengers who forgot that fishing does not start early in the morning.

Everything would have probably been okay if Damien had just limited himself to suggesting that breakfast beer would be acceptable while on holiday. But, no, he followed through by opening a beer! Even as I pleaded with him to be sensible, he twirled his ginger beard and the hypnotic whispers overcame my good sense; thus I succumbed to the rationalization that as I had been awake for 4 hours a single beer would be not only socially acceptable, but also an expected part of having been awake, on a boat, in a tropical sea, while not being in control of the vessel for FOUR hours. Boy was Damien wrong on that one!

The rest of the story can be heard elsewhere, but I'll leave you with this advice: Beware the gingerbeard man!

[Damien2Rad]

Hahaha! Man, I am a menace to society!

[ellicat]

Gary, Some of these type of events are easier as memories than they are living through :pinch: :evil:

A story to tell over and again though, so there's at least some value

[Angus]

So the replies already suggest a yes...

Was everyone happy with the The Muddy Farmer?

Or somewhere more central like The Plough (Southbank)?

Or should we get back to the whole park/bbq/beer/family idea...

I'm with Ray...Reddy Bay Hotel has a great area for us all to meet, it has some great bay views since the council cut the overgrown trees down and excellent food.

I think the Christmas party should maybe move around a bit every year to let everyone on the forum to attend from different areas.

[Angus]

I would travel to the bay. Sort of "topical" anyway

[Terry H]

Free weekends are very thin between now and Feb, but I would certainly go.

If its a lunch/bbq, the bay would be good to have a fish before hand!

[Damien2Rad]

I still think somewhere central, I can't see some one from the Northside coming all the way out. Especially if they want to have a beer or two.

[Doobsy]

Muddy Farmer was good and the roast was fantastic value.

I'd vote for a central location like the city/south bank so everyone has a similar distance to travel with plenty of public transport options.

[viper83]

I will attend for sure

[benno573]

I will attend for sure

I'm out then...

Ah yes fond memories. I enjoyed spending time in the confined spaces of a boat and fishing with Damien. But his discourse on rangas he would like to procreate with still gives me nightmares every time I see a pic of Julia Gillard.
