A Druid Christmas?

Groove Temple conquered the South Coast of NSW on the weekend of 15th & 16th December, thoughtfully helping Christmas on its way by facilitating hangover installations in the towns of Huskisson and Kiama. Friday 15th saw Groove Temple and the patrons of the Husky Pub thrashing around the dance floor in an uncontrollable manner. Par for the course at Huskisson. A new cultural phenomenon was discovered. Small groups of people were found to be taking their shoes off, piling them onto the centre of the dance floor and dancing around them in an ancient form of tribal dance ritual. Much like Druids. This poses the question; “Do Druids have Christmas parties?”

The Grand Hotel at Kiama on Saturday was a horse of a different colour. Not only was it very busy, but a special visitor arrived. Groove Temple would normally expect a yearly visit from not only Santa Claus, but also from Reg Reagan. So far this year, Reg had failed to deliver and the boys were sadly resigned in the belief he had forgotten them. However, Mr Reagan finally turned up on Saturday, much to everyone’s delight. He’d been busy partying all year and had just come from a Christmas party in Kiama. Reg stormed the Grand Hotel with an impromptu, energetic floor show that may permanently scar the memories of all that attended. Thanks Reg and Merry Christmas to you and your loyal followers. Forgive them Lord; they know not what they do. (LUKE 23:24)
