It was a bowltastic Christmas for Beau's Buddies and Blues Crew members as they joined Beau and Santa for the Christmas party at Ten Pin Bowling, Star City, on Tuesday.

It was great to see so many members there and even Beau had the chance to hit a few pins on the bowling alley....he was very impressed with your bowling skills too!

After enjoying two games of bowling everyone took a break from the lanes to enjoy a meal of burger and chips whilst Santa made a special early visit just to see all the Beau's Buddies and Blues Crew.

Special guests James O'Shea and Keith Fahey also popped by to sign autographs and wish all the members a Merry Christmas. The players also drew the raffle and Jamie and Joshua were the lucky winners of the mascot package prizes.

Great fun was had by all and everybody got in the festive mood and ready for Christmas. Ten lucky winners from each lane with the highest scores also got their hands on a Blues 2010 calendar signed by the whole Blues first team.
