Christmas Party 1999

4th - 5th December 1999

The Christmas Social was held at the Mt Barney Lodge over the weekend. Thirteen members attended. Arriving on the Friday night, we chose our sleeping quarters, had a chat and a drink and watched the sun set on Barney.

Saturday was quite hot for the walk to the Cascades but some of us certainly cooled off quickly when we took a dip in the icy cold pool at the bottom of the Cascades. We had lunch and headed back, arriving back at the Huts about 2:30 pm. Saturday night was the barbecue and Christmas get together which included some of the local wild-life joining us.

During the evening Richard livened up the night by posing a number of questions to all the ladies about their favourite things and a word or two to describe them. Little did we know we were offering an insight into ourselves, our partners and our intimate lives.

Sunday morning was a little disorganised. After packing up, six of us walked up the creek from Yellow Pinch for a very pleasant swim (nowhere near as cold as the day before).

Lyn had left earlier to travel to Mooloolabah for lunch and the remainder of the group stayed at the Lodge and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings. Fruit and chocolate cake for lunch completed our day. We headed for home about 1:00 pm.

Thanks to everyone who came along to make it a great finish to the year.
