Saturday night (14.12.2019) was the Annual Panel Graphic Christmas party, to bring a close to a fabulous year for the business we decided to host a Masquerade ball.
This year the event was hosted at Brasteds Manor Farm, it was absolutely a magical night. Everyone dressed up in their posh frocks & Masks; even the Brasteds staff got involved!
On Arrival, guests walked down a red carpet and were greeted at the bar with a glass of Adnams Prosecco and our photographer for the evening took arrival pictures.
After an hour or so of mingling, everyone sat down for an amazing Christmas dinner. Each table had a ‘Head Elf’ who oversaw the table’s activities. There were Dares, Christmas puzzles, water guns, confetti canons & drink tokens. Each person had to draw a dare, if completed correctly they were awarded a free drinks token!
Some of the dares included:
- Shout ‘WHOO PANEL GRAPHIC’ every time someone shouts your name.
- Every time a Christmas song plays shout ‘I LOVE THIS ONE’
- Do a catwalk up and down the room every time a course comes out.
After the meal was finished, we played some games. Of course, the annual game of heads and tails was played! This year we put a twist on it though! Our coin was giant & had Aarons head on one side and Doug’s tail on the reverse.
We also played ‘Who’s got the horn?”, this game was inspired by Steve’s Europe trip earlier this year in aid of prostate cancer, along the way they picked up a swiss horn & in the camps they all gathered round to see who could blow it the hardest!
So naturally, we needed to bring this game to one of our Christmas parties! It’s harder than you think!
Later in the evening brought lots of dancing, drinking & more dancing! Not to mention, everyone wanting to wear Steve’s mask!
We had some cards on the tables encouraging people to leave some messages about the night, here are some of the responses:
“Great night, Great people, cheers to all the head elves”
“Such a fab night and a chance to really see people’s personalities, OMG!”
“Thankyou for a great night! Lots of fine great food!”
“Defo the best one so far”
Overall the night was amazing, made even more memorable by the lovely, kind & attentive staff at Brasteds Manor Farms! We thank you all for making our night a blast, and we apologise for the confetti cannon mess!! ?
