A BOX PARTY

We had fun at the annual Box Party in the community centre organised by Sandra and Gwen. Participants brought a box. They were placed on a table. When your name was pulled out of a bag, you chose a box. You opened it front of everyone. If you didn’t want to keep your present you could swap it with someone without their consent. We had lots of laughs.

The boxes are ready.



The people are ready. This event was held at Happy Hour, where we bring our own nibblies. We can bring our own drinks or buy them at the bar.


Eva got a pair of warm bed socks, they became one of the most sought after gifts. They were stolen many times.



Gay stole them from Eva, Tony stole them from Gay.

Terry got two little pigs.


He swapped them for socks from Herbie.

Julie couldn't believe she got a little green frog again, the same as last year. She said, "Not another stupid green frog." She had us in hysterics. Sandra and Gwen are the organisers.


Green frogs were a popular gift. Caren thought it was funny but she had it stolen by cheeky Bob, who gave her a calender of half naked volunteer Firemen. We thought that was hilarious since she is over 80.
