Cocktail party!

The Winter Function aka the 'cocktail party' was held in the Convention Centre in Canberra, easy parking but rather a large venue for what was in the end a smallish crowd. All glammed up and intent on drinking and eating our monies worth!

The event finished rather early 2100 so we were forced onto the streets of Canberra, fortunately for those wearing high heels there was a venue really close by but unfortunately for us all the nearest place was the Casino....Oh no and the disturbing 80's Disco! but bouyed up with our fizzy wine (sorry, Champagne) we 'hit' the disco and as we (3 girlies in all our finery) went ahead of the the main group we were greeted with free champagne (which was nice!).

I had a try on the black jack table (with a friendly guide) and at one point had doubled my money.....however in what seemed like the blink of an eye it all went. So back to the disco and dancing to what I thought were not some of the highlights of the 80s!
Anyhow we managed to last until 3am (Yawning & feet killing!) and then took all Sunday to recover.
