Santa Sleigh (14 - 17)

Emile — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 05:29:00 +0000

This year was the first time that the Annual Rotary Santa Sleigh came to the streets of Ashgrove.

Seizing the moment we showed up in numbers with Samwise, JJ, Chris Go, Rachel, Kerry, Emile, Matt, B1 and B2, Bill, Jono and myself attending across the four evenings.

With a smile on our faces and a tin in hand we swept through the streets to a mostly inviting reception. Knocking on as many doors as we could find we wished everyone a merry Christmas also recieving the quite a few donations as the Ashgrovians were quite generous.

Donation of the week would have to go to Bill for recieving a donation from a second storey balcony *high five moment*

Overall the week was a success for both the Rotary as well as the crew becoming a more connected with or surrounding community. It could also be said that the Rotary have expressed their gratitude and are hoping that the younger generations will assist in continuing and expanding this great tradition.

BRAVO guys and I look forward to next years Sleigh.

Bill’s farewell

The crew thought it’d be a good idea to give bill a small party to ~~celebrate~~ commiserate bill’s leaving us for 6 months to go to Canada. We wish him the best of luck, and look forward to seeing him again later this year. Some pictures from the night:

Intercrew Games Night

Emile — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 01:57:00 +0000

I organised a games night,
Between crews from far and wide,
We met Stafford and Tandara,
And even some Girl Guides.

First we played the Human Knot,
A game to break the ice,
With twenty-four tangled people,
It wasn’t very nice.

Then eagerly holding hands,
We stood in two straight lines,
For we raced two hula hoops,
I lost twice, now I resign.

Then we all sat down,
To play the game Taboo,
Trying to guess some words,
From people’s clever clues.

Just before the drinks break,
We played another game,
Of nostalgic Tunnel Ball,
But please, improve your aim!

Despite the games I organised,
There’s only one they came to see,
A hot and sweaty game,
Of Ultimate Frisbee.

There’s a trophy for the winner,
Right now they’re on cloud nine,
I hope to see you all again,
But you better watch out next time!

A big thankyou to Alex, Boo, Petah, Rachael, Timothy and Tracey from Tandara Rovers; Peter from Stafford Rovers; Bel, Cat and Natasha from Everton Park Ranger Guides; Kathryn from the Olave Program; and the St. John’s Wood Rovers for making the night a success. Congratulations to the winner, Petah.

Stradbroke Island trip

Emile — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 09:44:00 +0000

The week of November 23rd to the 27th, 2009 saw the Rover crew stay at Emile’s place on Stradbroke island; fun times were had, sun cancer augmented and friendships strengthened.

From monday to wednesday, Stephen, Chris Greener, Jordan and Emile were the only ones on the island, supplemented later by Kerry, Matt and Rachel. It has been decided that we will be returning with the crew soon. A camping trip down the main beach is looking good too.
