Hasn't Christian been banned for stealing Sis's beers?

I was going to make the sister stealing joke, but it appears that Vic beat me to it.

I'd recommend it tonight G. Perhaps you could ride the monkey bike dressed as a tree? I think also that tonight that Christian is wearing a dress and heels? Perhaps he is trying to contest the monkey bike championships with a high heel handicap?

Oh how I wish my camera was charged. Perhaps someone could bring one along?

Oh, and if i remember correctly, tonight we party afterwards at Christians :wink:

I would love to dress up as christmas tree, but Lindsay says the velodrome is a budgy smuggler free zone. :x

budgy smugglers are permitted on the monkey bike, as long as you wear the official monkey bike helmet. BTW tonight would be the last attempt for Christian to take the record for 09

Yep great night
here's some pics of the night - had fun people - Micheal C and Geoff M did a good job with some short speeches and funny awards but I was hoping for the "most improved", "slowest road block" type awards like xmas parties of years gone by (all 2 of them I've been involved with!).

Posted: 16 Dec 2009, 13:53
by mikesbytes
"most improved", "slowest road block"
Who do you vote for?

Mate, I'll leave that to more informed club members - I thought your awards were good, I suppose I thought that like other years we'd have some serious and not so serious awards. I thought the second category was well covered.

Posted: 16 Dec 2009, 14:25
by mikesbytes
We are doing the serious awards on another occasion

I don't know what you are all complaining about, I was fine this morning, apart from being very tired.

I have just come home from a 6 hour, 6 course Christmas party lunch.

I got up at 5.30 this morning when I remembered I hadn't put the bins out last night. Bit cloudy headed. Definitely NOT sober, but no need for Panadols. Backing it up a second day when not fully sobering up from the first one is what is hurting right now.

Great night. Got quite entertaining towards the end... Pics are great Stuart. Chidgey, I don't see any of the websites we were talking about. Wasn't there one about something yellow or golden?
