Last Saturday saw the whole Myakka team celebrate Christmas with our annual Christmas party, this time and for the first time in January! The bad weather before Christmas meant that our first and second attempts at the party were put on hold. The next available date was chosen as the 22nd January 2011, which coincided nicely with the end of our sale.
Despite the Christmas period being well and truly over, everyone managed to dig out their glad rags, add a little festive sparkle to their outfits and join the other groups of people at the Olive Bowl in Gillingham who had their Christmas shindig delayed. We all enjoyed a delicious 3 course meal, followed by our much delayed Secret Santa presents which caused much laughter as gifts were opened and everyone was trying to work out who gave who what? (This by the way, is still all a mystery – much too some peoples frustration!) Highlights of the Secret Santa include a pink feather bra, pant shaped hand warmers, a washing up set (for those who struggle with it) and an almost impossible origami kit as well as some more unmentionable items!
The dance floor then became the next big attraction with every single member of the team gracing the floor with some high energy dance moves which included all the boys attempting to do something that resembled the can-can!
Alas, the end of the night soon caught up with us and we all went home to wake up on Sunday morning with a sore head and plastic Christmas cracker ring still on!
A great night was had by all so a big THANK YOU goes to the Olive Bowl and Myakka for a fantastic night.
