A mere group of approximately 42 people descended on the Petone Working Mens Club to enjoy a Christmas Buffet meal.
It was so nice to have a group that was comprised not only of some of the shooters, but also made up of partners and kids. It was such a nice relaxing evening.
PPC even put on a few bottles of wine. Maybe next time Warren will just make the decision instead of roping me into the discussion at the bar..... I drink Bourbon brother... not wine LOL
The food was great.... nothing overly fantastic, just nice simple hot and cold selections, along with desserts.
To top off the evening, we had the opportunity to recognise one of our Committee.
Over the past few weeks, we had done a serious level of covert discussions amongst a number of the committee.
With Mrs Brown being the lead instigator (ie: nominating Alan for the award), I then secured approval from each of the committee members, drew up the cert, had Mar & Warren co-sign along with myself, and we presented Alan with his Lifetime Membership Certificate.
It was a real honour to be able to present this to Alan, and I was extremely humbled.
To add to the mix, Mrs B then shared a number of photo's around the tables as well as provided us with a narrative or few about Alan and his time shooting etc.
For the years I've been a member of the club, this has got to be the only time that I have truly seen Alan lost for words.
After dinner, a number of people left, while a few of us headed downstairs to the bar for a couple of drops and further chinwagging.
All in all it was a bloody great night to have spent with people from the PPC.
Look forward to next years one.
