Christmas Fun!
We had a fantastic time once again at the annual NSK Christmas Party.
I took the gazebo up on Wednesday morning and when Hazel and I arrived on Friday to start work on the balloon decorations it was all dressed up complete with Santa’s chair and lights. We made four balloon topiary displays and ten sets of foils for the tables.
I arrived at 8am on Saturday morning to open up the doors to the canteen and shortly afterwards the rest of the team arrived.
AR brought all of the games and inflatables and Jolly Good Productions provided the entertainment.

Our first job was to build the five balloon arches in front of Santa’s grotto. With Emma, Kassie, Joe, Greg, Katrina and me working as a well oiled machine we were soon well under way. Natasha, Becky and Hazel soon joined us so we had plenty of hands on the job and the arches were up in no time.
We then set up the face painting, craft workshop and my puppet show. AR meanwhile had set up the bouncy castles, soft play, side stalls, vision racers, Wii games, and the Football game.
All set by 9.45am and looking good. Time for a bacon butty and a cuppa before the guests arrived.
The party started at 10.30am and there were over 130 children with parents, friends and family too. Santa arrived with Rudolph and the party was soon in full swing. The side shows an stalls stopped at 12 noon for my Christmas Show and opened again at half past.
By 1.30 pm every child had seen Santa, the families had been well fed and entertained and everyone left feeling happy.
It had been a lovely event and we are all looking forward to next year!
