About two months ago Directors John and Karen decided that it was time we had another get together as it was November last year when we last had a staff "do". A choice of dates was given and the majority won!

| The Winner - Cowboys and Indians |
We (and any partners that could make it) gathered around 3.00pm with no idea what we would be getting in to - the "red herring" was specific clothing so there was a lot of speculation about what it would be. Just comfy ended up being the answer! Drinks and nibbles greeted us on arrival - very nice, thank you. Once the majority of us arrived it was down to business.
Split in to three teams - Platinum, The Confirmed Heterosexuals and The Beat Sally Team - the challenges began. We had to pick the staff facial feature (how many of your workmates ears, eyes and noses do you stare at?), discover whose secret was whose and build a theme in playdoh. The Beat Sally Team won the day but it was more by underhanded means and luck than actual skill! Prizes were handed out to winners and losers alike so no-one went home empty handed.
The afternoon was still young so we knew something else would have to be happening! Not being wrong, Megan from Dindindi Drums arrived to provide a drumming session. Great fun but not all of us are as rhythmic as we think we are! With us all sitting in a circle and a patio heater in the middle we thought we were very tribal indeed!
Time to eat! John excelled once again on the webber with beef and chicken and Natural Temptations provided the salads. Always masses of food to eat so it wasn't long before we were all sitting around the various "fire pits" getting warm,holding long and in-depth conversations and nursing full stomachs with drinks! The evening ended about 10.30pm when the last of the stragglers went home.
Thanks again to Karen and John for yet another fun-filled, team-building Staff party.
