Christmas dinner
Potluck style, everyone brings something to share. Think classic Kiwi Christmas BBQ: meats, salads, sides, desserts. When you sign up you pick a category, and the tally below shows what is already covered, so we do not end up with fifteen salads and no meat.

The GRC Awards
A mix of genuine awards and some more ridiculous ones. Around five are nominated and presented by the coaches, such as Coach's Choice, and ten are voted by members, with the funny categories and titles to match. Voting opens on this page about a week before the party.
