Christmas 2011 - Makoura Lodge
In November 2011 the Palmerston North Personnel team celebrated Christmas at Makoura Lodge. Crikey...what do we say - it's a cracker of spot!

The hosts, Hugh and the team took care of the entertainment and coordination of a few team building events for Saturday. With a little bit of creative thinking, the Palmerston North Personnel team survived Charlotte's Web, Rope Games and Human Sheep Dog Trials. Although it's safe to say that the sheep were the winner on the day!

The team took over the lodge as we filled the units and Burnside Cottage. We had a brilliant day and after a couple of quick refreshments we met in the lodge for a home grown solid Makoura Style Meal.

While we relaxed in the lodge, Annabel led the team into Makoura Line Dancin' and this really seemed to hit the spot!

On Sunday the team very quietly thanked Hugh and the Makoura Lodge Team for a great weekend and made their way home.....
