Let me start by first wishing a Merry Christmas to all...

Today's meeting started under the oppressing rainfall. I can safely say that having darted into the club meet at 4:30, most found the rain counter-productive to parking lot chats.

A tidal wave of members rushed in around 5:30, and immeadiately began chatting an setting up. A few more members slowly trickled in during the next hour or so. Once the population had finalized, secret santa began, bringing smiles to a number of members. More gifts were had from the giveaways, in which Harrison found himself in possession of the winning 50/50 ticket (Which officially makes him the richest person in attendance tonight), as well as one of the winners of a door prize, a title he also shared with Patrick and Lynn. Following that was a brief respite for food and drink, courtesy of David and Lisa (Don't forget to thank them, please). The official half of the discussion was similarly quick, effectively miming the discussion of last months meeting, namely, which runs to do, and when to do them, if possible. Patrick also briefly spoke of the Sunshine Coast run, and also felt around to see if anyone was looking to be rid of Ford Taurus alloy rims.

Even after the meeting, everyone stayed and chatted until we were figuratively told to get lost by our lovely waitresses. Which also brings me to the most important event of tonight's meeting: Emily hugged me and not Patrick. NA NA NA NA NA NA NA.

...And to all, a good night.
