Final Reports

I've finally finished reports for Semester 2. That means I can go to a movie this weekend, or hang out all day and read the papers, or have a long lunch....that holiday feeling is approaching. Our staff end-of-year bash is next weekend - we are doing "barefoot bowls" (the lawn kind of bowling, not the alley kind) which should be fun, but as I somehow became the event organiser, is actually feeling stressful at the moment. People with Scrooge-like tendencies should NOT organise Xmas parties! I'll be leaning heavily on Eliza's skills to pull it off. She's already arranged the food, now I have to think of nibbles, and decorations, and games to enliven the bowls - do we form teams? How do you score? What can we award prizes for? Prizes! Another thing for my list. Any lawn bowlers out there? Heeeeelp.....

Closest I've come to lawn bowling is croquet - which I loved as a child. So I'm no help. I am sure that it will turn out a great event!

Have fun with the planning - but more fun at the fling!!

You need to speak to Lauren Cate, she had a work function playing lawn bowls recently and they had lots of fun!
