Xmas Dinner & Belmont RSL

The RSL club function room was the choice of venues for the 2011 FX-HZ Holden Car Club Christmas party, with 70 odd members, guests and children the place filled nicely centred around the banners and flags and the tables set in festival scene.

 The bar opened at 6 and seemed to fill quickly, at 7 the meals consisting of a trio of turkey lamb and ham with vegies on the side arrived and all the chitter chatter seemed to die off as everyone went back to their seats and ate.

 A surprised guest arrived for the younger ones  in a jolly red suit, handing out chocolate stocking, most kids gave Santa a hug some were a bit shy, Keeping the kids entertained with balloons and music had them enjoying the night, some of this children will be our future committee members in years to come.

Kev started the night?s awards with the Ronnie Coverdale award going out to Brett Warren. Brett has been a very valuable member for nearly a decade and has been a back bone to the club from cooking the bbq on our club runs to making the club Ute, trailer and tandem trailer a permanent fixture at his house, and also taking on the role of Vice President.

Nicole Coverdale was next on the stage having held the role of treasure for over 12 years and being a member for 13, Nicole was awarded life membership and a very beautiful mirror with her SLR Torana and name embossed into it, 

Dedicating a lot of her time assisting in the Holden day, Christmas party and the likes.... we thank her for her time and dedication to the club.

 Kev our president did a great job on the microphone, talking of bigger and better things for the club in years to come.

 I was presented with a fantastic diary that will come in very handy when planning our future club cruises.

A birthday cheer went out to Mark Bates along with a cake.

After the awards the desert cheese cake, plum pudding and Pavlova had every one running back to their seats, and all I can say is yum.Thanks to the Belmont RSL Club for hosting the party with fantastic food and friendly staff I would highly recommend this place for anyone?s function or just going out for tea one night.

Thanks to all for coming, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and please stay safe on our roads.
