As usual, our Christmas dinner at Wyndham Cache went off with a big bang. Everyone got into the spirit of the occasion.
The major highlight, apart from the visit by a very jovial Santa, was the Rotary's Got Talent quest. We had three contestants who vied for the coveted prize of being the best performer. The brave souls were:
- Andrea Fredskild (our exchange student) who sang the song "Santa Lucia" in Danish. She was accompanied by Ross Conley on keyboard. A very accomplished performance by Andrea.
- Peter Ross who gave a stirring recital of Banjo Patterson's poem "The Man from Ironbark".
- Geoff Smith and his companion Pam Lang who sang a wonderful rendition of the song "The Prayer". They sounded very much like Charlotte Church and Josh Groban.
The audience voted for their favourite performer by acclamation. As a result, Andrea was the overwhelming winner. In equal second spot were the other two acts. Congratulations to the contestants for providing us with much enjoyment.
The other highlights of the night were:
- The announcement of the Board for 2018-19.
- Distribution of Kris Kringle gifts by Father Christmas, ably supported by his two elves.
- Another great musical performance from the Barking Dogs. It was good to see many of their fans getting up and dancing to the music.
