IRD staff are pretty good at putting on a Christmas Party. This year the venue was the beach, and the menu a roast pig, 10 chickens, 5 fish, carton of sausages and 20kg of rice. Alot of the meat is cooked by 2 -3 of the women and in normal BBQ style the rest is cooked over an open fire, men with beer in hand supervising the proceedings. Amazing how 10kg each of sausages and chicken pieces and 5 large fish can be cooked over an open fire with hot plate. Makes our gas BBQ seem somewhat superfluous.
Normal debates over ratio of beer to softdrinks - funny how softdrink drinkers only need 2 drinks but beer drinkers need at least 10!!!
Very few staff have cars so much of the morning is spent transporting food and people around from work and home to the venue.
Was great to be able to meet everyone's partners and kids.
Was a great event, ample food and beer and a beautiful afternoon.
