On Saturday the 18th of December we cracked out the BBQs for another Sharks Christmas celebration. After Saturday morning training, swimmers and families gathered to feast on pancakes and bacon and egg rolls. The hungry swimmersb and equally ravenous parents tried their best to get through all the food but were defeated by the clever over-catering of the Committee! We did notice that a lot of the cakes were scoffed pretty fast though……
It was a rather hot morning, and once the inflatable was up and running there was a constant stream of eager victims, uh participants! We think a few had been planning their inflatable attack strategies all year as there were some impressive runs, and a few competitive times!
With appetites worked up by non-stop slip and slides, we cracked out the icereams and and braved the morning sun for a few short thankyous and presentations. A shortened affair this year as we are hoping that we will eventually get our 50th Club anniversary celebrations (fingers crossed before the 51st anniversary!).
Thank you to the always hard-working Committee members who pulled the celebration together. A big thank you to all the parents who helped set-up, cook and clean-up after the hungry hoardes. There were plenty of smiles and laughs throughout the morning and more than a few tired and icecream filled swimmers who headed home! We are all looking foward to more social events in 2022…..
