TABLEtalk Christmas Party

I think it would be safe to say that great fun was had by all 75 students and volunteers at this year's TABLEtalk Christmas party!!  Christmas hat wearing was strongly encouraged and the challenge was taken up by many ... 

No doubt this is a Christmas hat in some country?! 

Frank & Lynda score extra points for Christmas hats and jumpers!!

Many thanks to those who came early and helped move tables and chairs and prepare food - willing volunteers are always greatly appreciated :-)

To aid digestion, eating was followed by some enthusiastic singing of 'The 12 Days of Christmas'.

Then it was time to use up some energy and burn off some calories with a raucous game of 'Horses, Knights & Cavaliers'. (Thank the Lord, we didn't have to visit A&E!!!)

KNIGHTS

CAVALIERS

Later in the evening we re-visited 'The 12 Days of Christmas' but this time using our own international TABLEtalk version which goes as follows ...

12 Brazilian nuts

11 Swiss chocolates

10 Turkish delights

9 wraps of fufu (Nigerian)

8 chicken curries

7 straw hats

6 pairs of chopsticks

5 candy canes

4 Spanish omelettes

3 pyramids

2 oliebollen (Dutch)

and a FREE trip to Mauritius!!!

Here are more general pics of the evening ...

Thank you Sue, for leading us in some carol singing around the piano ...

And finally, we gathered around the tree for our gift exchange ... 

I would describe that part of our evening as organised chaos, but it was lots of fun :-)

Thank you AGAIN to all those who helped make the evening such a great success in many different ways. Ian and Sue and others beavered away with the washing up, whilst others enjoyed the fun.

What a great evening :-)
