After the afternoon Q & A session we changed into something a bit dressier and headed down to the Liberty Restaurant for a group dinner. There were 400 of us, counting family and friends as well, and we took over the whole restaurant. Our booking was from 5:30 to 7:00 pm, and service was very quick because the restaurant had other patrons who were coming in later, and we had our tag contest.
There were some brief speeches before dinner from Cindy and from Witte Travel, and Zing and Vocal Spectrum performed. Vocal Spectrum sang Cruella De Vil and Mam'selle, by request.
For the tag contest we went back to the auditorium. Zing and Vocal Spectrum were the judges, and there were about 13 contestants including some very late entries. Prizes (left over group shirts, pitch pipes, CDs) were awarded to all contestants.
Best family group was one of the Zing girls with her husband and son and daughter.
Quietest was two Aussie girls who stood with their backs to the audience. Then one tucked in the dress label of the other and said "that's the end of the tag".
Northern Beaches had a quartet of 8 or so and got the prize for largest quartet.
We didn't take notes and can't remember the other awards, but there was a lot of laughter and itwould be fun to do a tag contest at our next weekend retreat.
