An early highlight of the evening was Ron and Carl’s car brand themed cheese plate followed by the aforementioned ‘exam’ (won by Ron and Carl). This was followed by a shared barbecue dinner, dessert and a Kris Kringle distribution of gifts.
Robyn and Julie did a great job as hosts on the night and there were heaps of opportunities to mingle, crack a coldie and share a laugh.
