CHRISTMAS AT THE IVY, CANTERBURY

A formal (well, funny jackets to brighten the event, make it more festive), and SECRET SANTA.

A really good turnout for a private room and full festive gubbins bash. A variety of festive jackets in evidence. Met in a local boozer for pre-loading before diving into the high priced (but very nice) venue already nicely toasted.

Secret Santa gave us it's normal entertainment, its normal complete inability to keep the rules simple, and the now traditional sight of Wayne in a blow up suit of some sort.

Unlike previous secret Santa debacles this one did not end in indiscriminate damage to the venue, which as they really do know how to charge was probably a wise move on our part. Despite this it was very funny so I will let the pictures tell the story............... Starting with THE GASS GRACE, located by Tony, apparently from years and years ago in the days of yore......

THE GASS GRACE - AN ODE TO LYING, STEALING. CHEATING, AND DRINKING

Gentlemen, if you must lie, lie to save a friend.

If you must steal, steal a ladies heart.

If you must cheat, cheat death.

If you must drink, then drink with GASS!!!

Well said that man, and so we continued on into the night, wrapping paper torn asunder as we plundered the pile of gifts.....
