2015 President's Cup and Christmas Party

The not-to-be missed event of the Uringan calendar year! (If you did miss it, put the last Saturday in November in your diary for 2017.)
  • Venue by Matt and Helen - congenial spaces, a chance to look over the recent renovations, and cricket on the TV for those in need.  Unfortunately, located at the top of the hill.
  • President's Cup event - Matt on behalf of club president Linda set a Hunters Hill challenge that required negotiation (teams of two deciding who would go where) and questions at control sites which required close reading (and occasionally some extra knowledge: who knew that Mary Reibey was once featured on the $20 note?, and to find out why Mary Reibey was important just ask Matt). There were two cartographic questions to trip up the runners.

  • Food by everyone - yet again Uringans surpassed themselves, especially with tasty salads and desserts to die for.
  • Santa Claus - of course.
  • Giving out of undistributed badges (2014, 2015 . . .), Metro medals and NOSH mugs

Jim still missed out on receiving the Rookie of the Year award, but at least we all got to see it

NOSH water carriers' rewards
New grandfather strutted his stuff and the Uringan aunties and uncles took a turn
 
And just in case anyone still had some energy...
