This year our Christmas Party was a double-header. Firstly we visited the National Museum to see "Spirited: Australia's Horse Story" and then headed back to Sue & Gerd's for a cocktail party. The Spirited exhibition was the one that Women In Racing supported earlier on in the year by attending a champagne breakfast overlooking lake.
To make it easier, the excursion to the National Museum both started and ended at Sue's place. When we arrived there was a long "Moonlight Stretch Limo" waiting that must have had capacity for over a hundred people.
We headed off to the Museum via the Arboretum, where the bus made a quick tour and allowed people to see how it had progressed. As with any WiR trip, champagne and beer accompanied us.
When we got to the Museum and exhibition, Sue pointed out the Acknowledgements board at the entrance that recognised Women In Racing's support for the organisation of the event.
We were free to wander around the exhibit, which displayed a lot of early horse memorabilia - some of which was familiar to some of our members from their youth or from stories handed down from their parents.
After the exhibition we headed back on the bus to Sue and Gerd's house for the cocktail party. Willo won the prize for best Christmas outfit, with Marj coming a close second.
Thanks to all the Committee for organising such a great event.
