Poetry Reading at Chester and Norm's place

It was a bit of a soggy weekend but it didn't stop a gang of us descending on Chester and Norma in our wellies to hear Bernie read some of his fabulous poetry.

 

 

It was Bu's last weekend in Christmas Creek for a while. Despite the weather not turning on the charm, the locals made up for it

Along with Chester, Norma and Bernie, there was also Sue (Smith), Sue (Kearns),  Nell, Graham, Mark, Brad, Kyha, Eamon, Darcy and Alannah

There were also the Brisbane blow-ins: Bron, Bu, Iwan, Mary, Darryl and myself ( I am hoping Norm has noted my grammar there!).

But first to the important business of coffee, buns and talking amongst ourselves....

 

 

 

OK enough preamble and onto the main course...

There was the headliner: an epic poem about the Valley folk coming and stretchering down the survivors of the Stinson crash. Great stuff!

 

 

There was the one about the Rugby

I think then came the one about the Speech Day

And finally the one about the food chain of monsters...  fantastic!

All that was left was to venture out to the porch to identify one's footwear.
(Guess which ones are Graham's)

The Christmas Creek Classic Cup 2013

The 'trophy' -

And we're off ...

Competition was fierce...

At times the concentration was palpable...

 Lots of thought went into the attire - Steve donned his best colourful pants  and Rob stepped up, colour co-ordinating thongs and shorts

 David's patented putter was a hit

All seven competitors survived - the men who braved the mountain slopes for paddock golf posed for photographs at the finish

After the final score tally, winner Peter Laird and the man who came last Rob Huston celebrated proudly. They will share the trophy until next year's event.
