27th January 2006 Christmas
Meal (Chinese New Year)
The Casuals decided that the 2005 Christmas meal should
be delayed until after Christmas to avoid the rush. The venue
was chosen specially to cater for the team - a Chinese 'All
you can eat' , or as it turned out 'eat as much is as humanly
possible'. The venue was the Chinese in the UCI complex down
the bay, and it just so happened to be the Chinese New Year.
I believe the restaurateurs were happy with the booking (17
attendees) until they saw us arrive and realised that there
might not be enough food to go around.... A few of the 'thin'
Casuals stupidly challenged the 'fat' team to an eating contest
- Ed, and failed miserably. Paul managed 6 platefuls, however
I've been informed that his brother, Mark was the 'winner'
as his 6 platefuls were heaped so much that he required stabilisers
to get from buffet to table!
A very good night, good food, good company and good turn
out. Anyway here's some of the pictures.
