ALE Christmas Party 2011

Fashion Flashback…

There was a buzz in the office and you could feel the excitement building, so when 12h30 rolled around there was not a staff member in sight. Everyone had their kit on and were all making their way to Stars Niteclub (opposite the Moses Mabhida Stadium). The social committee put together a fantastic year end celebration…possibly the best yet!!

The theme was “Fashion Flashback” and staff had to dress according to the decade they were born. There were outfits, accessories and hair from as early as the 50′s to as recent as the 90′s. Clearly everyone had made an extra effort to represent their decade proudly and each person added their own unique flair to their fashion flashback.

Sadly we had to say farewell to Abraham Wiggill and Krishan Maharaj and each of them said a little something about their time at ALE. Krishan kicked off the positive vibes as MC and proceeded to do impressions of each of our Directors, which of course got everyone laughing, including the Directors. Then it was time for Andrew’s Annual Year End Speech, followed by the best dressed mini-awards for the guys and gals. Colin took best dressed guy, with Dale, Naeem and Abheran as his runner ups, and Lauren won best dressed gal with Nishi, Vikki & Cassandra as her runner ups.

The good vibes continued with fabulous food, delicious desserts and then a game of musical chairs to loosen everyone up. Next was a Decade Dance Off , and each decade had a chance to “squeak some takkie” on the dance floor. The fantastic 50′s boys brought back the twist, while the psychedelic 60′s children rocked their air guitars to some Woodstock tunes. Next were the Sensational 70′s grooving to Saturday Nite Fever, followed by the Awesome 80′s with their mind-blowing moon walks, and the 90′s babies showed off with some brilliant Mendoza moves.

Everyone had a blast, with a few die-hards dancing well into the night. A big thank you to our Social Committee for making it a party to remember.
