Local knowledge helped Matt out with a bonus point for the Ambulance Bays at the St Joey's Sportsfield.
Gayle claimed a "jet lag" time reduction having just flown in from her annual Bangkok "work conference" that morning.

President's Cup Awards

Large - Sarah Garnett
Sarah is no stranger to liquor shops but showed initiative by entering Vintage Cellars to ask what the % reduction was for beer . ( the store changed it during the week removing the sign from the top of the window.

Small- Helen Peters
Helen has played hostess to the Uringa Xmas party for many years now but she excelled herself with a massive renovation of the Peters home just for the parity. I am reliably informed that Matt had something to do with it.

Grand Child Bragging Rights
This was a tense battle between Grandpa Zuzu/ Grandma Jitka and Nana Gayle. Photos of respective grandchildren were exchange throughout the night. The judging panel viewed all with a great degree of neutrality.
The final decision was to wait a few years to see which one writes the next "War & Peace Novel", climbs Mt Everest first and pilots a "Mars Landing Vehicle"
Stay tuned results will be reported on this site when they happen.
By the way Nick and Margaret with their tribe of grand children chose to exempt themselves from the competition. As they know they have the best looking grand children!
