Woods had a memorable Christmas Do to finish the year on a high. It started with paintball - where the young ones’ strategy of applying dodgy face paint was not enough to outwit the 3 wise men, who sauntered to a convincing win.

Adrenalin levels only increased from there, with the highest commercially-rafted waterfall in the world waiting for the team at Hokere Falls. Capsizing while descending the waterfall wasn’t in the script - but no damage was done - except maybe a few sleepless nights suffered by certain crew members afterwards.

A great day was capped off with dinner at the stunning Drawing Room restaurant on Maunganui Road - where gifts were exchanged and memories from the year revisited. (See post below for The Drawing Room menus designed by Woods).
