23rd September 2011

With just four teams left in the AFL Final Series it was timely to again celebrate with a `very special footie style` morning tea. This year our Committee arranged a trivia session with members getting into the spirit and coming along in their favourite team colours. Following the Trivia Quest, the parade of the `best dressed` was held. With `Demon dresser` David being away on holidays this year, it was a `more level` playing field for adjudication! The event was lead by 'Question Master` Margaret with the assistance of President `Magpie` Leo, John our `soccerball hatted` scorer, Nick `The Judge`, with Jean working the overhead projector.

After enjoying the tea break we cleared away the chairs, separated into random teams with captains seated at the tables and got ready for the ensuing footie Trivia Session. Leo had prepared a `Find the footie in the photo` contest as an individual challenge and with Margaret, a very tough range of questions based on Sports and VFL/AFL records for the teams to answer. Which champion teams would come up with a majority of correct answers?

Margaret fired out the questions in rapid succession whilst Jean showed them on the overhead projector. There was no time to think before the next question! That's pressure!!!

Margaret's questions were by no means easy and many smart remarks were made from the floor much to everyone's amusement.

John, our `Soccerball hatted` scorer, worked assiduously to keep up with the scoring and as usual his accuracy resulted in our `Trivia Champions` being revealed!

Find the footie in the photo` contest was won by Gloria.

Finally all the `better dressed` footie fanatics lined up to be judged for the `Best Dressed Fan` competition. This was a real challenge for Nick to decide as most of the group were proudly decked out in their footie Club colours.

And so it came down that `Judge` Nick awarded the prizes to `Sainter`Algy as the Men's champion and to `Swannie` Norma as the Women's champion. Well done everyone!
Our very special thanks go to everyone involved in organising the Special Morning Tea this footie season. Another great event enjoyed by all!
