This year our Christmas party was at Thoroughbred Park, overlooking the racecourse.
We started out with pre-dinner drinks followed by a brief sojourn outside so we could wave to Santa who rode around the saddling enclosure, chauffeured by Michael.
Back inside, we sat down to a great dinner and show put on by our own Women in Racing.
The show started with the Three Tenors singing "That's Amore" (ably assisted by Dean Martin obviously off-stage somewhere). Next on stage were the Supremes singing "Where did our Love Go", "Baby Love", and "Stop in the Name of Love".
For the next number the WiR Orchestra came on stage to support the Supremes singing "Ooh, Baby Baby", and "Love Child".
The Supremes were followed by Sister Jan and her nuns, who sung the hit from Sister Act "I will follow Him" then "Bad Habits" as we got to see what nuns wear under their habits.
The show finished to the sounds of "Love is in the Air" with the obligatory conga line and far too many maracas and tambourines.
Thanks to all the performers for the great show they put on.

Cooma Cup 2013
I couldn't make the Cooma trip this year, but I gave a camera to Karyn to use to record the day.
I think she did a great job.

Christmas Lights
This year a Canberra house re-captured the world record for the number of Christmas lights, with over 500,000 globes.
To raise extra money for SIDS, Jenny and Manny Notaris volunteered their house for a BBQ. Their house is directly across the road from the house with all the Christmas lights so after the BBQ we could walk across the road to see the lights.
There were tables and chairs set up on the tennis court, with a garden nearby where the kids could play without disrupting the parents.
It was a great evening that was well-supported in aid of a worthwhile charity.
Our thanks to everyone involved in the organisation.
