The Workshops organised a casual St Patrick's Day Party on the afternoon of Friday 16th March which went down fantastically with everyone! The hallways were decorated with dozens of green shamrocks, banners, pots of gold, rainbows and of course not forgetting a huge Irish Flag!
There was a letter put out for everyone (who wished) to come dressed in as much green as possible! This was really taken on board and it was amazing to see how much effort everyone managed to put in. Amy had face paints so managed to go round a lot of people to paint Irish flags and shamrocks on their faces and even had a request from Martin to paint rabbit teeth on his chin ... which was of course done with a lot of laughs!
There was lovely award certificates made to be presented along with a small Easter Egg to the winners of the afternoon which were as follows:
Best Dressed Male: Ross Hrycenko
Best Dressed Male Runner-up: Thomas Lacroix
Best Dressed Female: Lisa Cameron
Best Dressed Female Runner-up: Sylwia Milewska
Winner of Best Dancer: Lindsay Bochel
Winner of the Leprechaun game: Ross Jackson.
Throughout the afternoon there was a lot of Irish and Scottish dancing, conga lines, party games and plenty of food and drink to enjoy. It came as a huge surprise when lots of small cakes and a "massive" cream ring appeared fresh from Harry Gow's at the Reception Desk. This was a very, very kind gesture from Ross Jackson and his Mum, Linda - Thank you both! You can only imagine the excitement that it caused - nobody seemede to care about their "wages" once the cakes were unveiled just before home time.
HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY!
Pleased to know about Patrick’s day celebrations. My cousin arranged a vendor event at one of Los Angeles venues last month. He got many appraisals for such a well-managed one. It was undoubtedly an unforgettable event.
