Slowboat Dec 2012

 We had the annual Aerobic/Spinning/Aqua/Bootcamp Christmas party at the Slowboat as usual and after the initial panic that none of my "regulars" could make it (it was on a Saturday night which I personally thought was FAB!) it ended up being a brilliant evening. The food was excellent, the "Ode" was "interesting", the company ON OUR TABLE was fantastic and judging by the texts received the next day, everyone had a great time. Starting with Nemmy and her "boyf"...

Laura and Kath, Ian's sis and mum

Oh yeah, we were there too...

Clare was sandwiched between some Jolly Hollies

The Paralympic Archer himself!! Rich Hennahane with bro and Dad.

He had a couple of verses in my Ode. I think he liked the fuss!

The Hollies (very Jolly)

OMG how stunning does Sue K look here! Wow! Her new job is sooooo suiting her.

Sue, Kay, Kay and Cheryl (never a dull moment on that table then Cheryl....)

Boots and Tesco. Man Utd and Chelsea. Front rowers. (Amanda and Debra)

(last to leave....why am I not surprised??!) 

I had to produce a very generalised Ode as we had people from so many different classes.

Naturally we played Heads and Tails, a Jim Gillson favourite.
