President's Cup and Xmas Party Wrap Up

Once again Uringa put on a great Christmas Party!! Everyone seemed to have enjoyed the Pres Cup at Callan Park despite time consuming Orienteering questions at some of the control sites!

It was back to Penny's place (great venue, lovely location) for the traditional BBQ with a  salad buffet. Perhaps Uringa should put in tenders for catering at events - the salads were amazing and the BBQ staff did a fantastic job with the sausages, steaks and vegetarian skewers. 

This was followed by an appearance of Santa and kids were very excited about his arrival...then it was on to some official business with handing out some trophies, certificates and badges, and of course naming this years President's Cup winners: Ian Jones won the large mug while Jared took home the little mug. Congratulations to both of you !! Jared couldn't wipe the smile off his face as he was handed out the Waratah Certificate, Waratah trophy, a control description holder, the M12A NSW Orienteer of the Year badge (1st) and the little mug!! To top it off he also took home the "Club of the Year" trophy which Uringa won this year and which was on display for everyone to see.

The dessert buffet was another cracker with so many yummy and nice desserts. My favourites were Hannah's ice cream sandwich, Celine's carrot cake and Margaret's profiteroles. That's all I got to try and after that I was too full!!

Special thanks goes to: 
Penny and Susi for providing the venue
Jitka for the beautiful mugs
Gayle for co-ordinating all the food
...and everyone who brought a dish !!

PS: more photos will be posted on the Blog within the next couple of weeks..
