The gathering of over 60 per cent of our members for pre-lunch drinks anticipated the success of the Bearbrass Christmas Party at The Emerald Hotel in South Melbourne.
As members seated themselves, grasping their numbered tickets in anticipation of the door prizes, it became clear that this would be a heavy afternoon of food preparation and service for the courteous and hard-working staff – to whom we offer our thanks and appreciation.
Following a delicious main course and distribution of terrific door prizes [thanks to Sheryl for her preparation], members changed seats to widen their social experience and extend the scope of the burgeoning sense of fellowship.
By the time dessert arrived, the noise of happy conversation had risen dramatically and the breadth of conversation had extended beyond social nicety to include the sharing of past experiences and the anticipation of potential future sharing opportunities.
If Christmas is a time of celebration, then the fun and fellowship displayed at this year’s function has offered a clear expression of the event and the Club’s success.
