The preparation began in earnest on Friday evening. Megan had borrowed half a dozen slow cookers and they were stocked with Beef, Lamb & Pork.
Saturday morning and I woke with a combination of headache and stomach ache. I had a rowing race that and was still feeling crook afterwards so skipped the post rowing breakfast and came home. A bit of a snooze and some panadol took up most of my morning. Megan produced some ham, cheese & avocado toasties that hit the mark and I started to feel human again.
Marcus had arrived around 9 and was set to work cutting onions and tomatoes and wot not.
Mid afternoon and Marcus and I drove the ute and the Tiida over. We were loaded with food and PA system. One item deserves special mention. Potato bake. It was in trays with alfoil obscuring the danger that lurks below. These were in turn in cardboard fruit trays. I was carrying a load in when Marcus pointed out the white sauce was all down the front of my jeans and my tasteful denim shoes.
A big thankyou to the Oxley bowls club. The staff there were really helpful and easy to get on with. There are plenty of spaces for small groups to congregate and catch up. We (being all ages) from younger siblings through the 21 cohort to the parents and grandparents enjoyed playing lawn bowls, pool and table tennis. The bar provided drinks and the ability to self cater food made for a really nice night.
A big thankyou to Megan Thomson who did a huge job cooking the food and her helpers brother David Laurie and his son Xavier and also Megan's parents Ian and Faye. Also to Chris Thomson chief organiser of music. Happy birthday Marcus Thomson.
