The Barn annual Christmas get-together 2024

The Christmas get-together and Barn Champions Awards 2024 was a delightful mix of festivity, camaraderie, and a sprinkle of hilarity, all wrapped up in the holiday spirit.

A Feast Fit for Champions

The evening kicked off with a delicious dinner buffet prepared by the amazing Barn members. With dishes that could make even Santa reconsider his cookie diet, attendees indulged in a spread that was both hearty and festive. The aroma wafting through the air was so enticing that even the Grinch would have been tempted to join in! The atmosphere buzzed with excitement as Nick made a grand entrance, lugging a big bag of presents that could rival Santa's sleigh.

The Awards Ceremony: A Comedy Show

As the plates were cleared, it was time for the highlight of the evening—the award ceremony to announce the 2024 Barn Champions.
The competition this year was fierce! It came down to a head-to-head race between Anthony Williams and Matt MacGillivray for the top honours, while Donnie Abbass and Jennifer Williams also showcased their skills in another thrilling showdown.
We never dreamed that the Barn Champions would be such a competitive affair at the end!
Carlo took centre stage to accept Matt MacGillivray's medal, delivering a speech that had everyone rolling with laughter. He cleverly used Matt's own words, which might have been a risky move if Matt had been present. Instead, Matt was probably somewhere shaking his head in disbelief while chuckling at Carlo’s antics.
Unfortunately, the MacGillivray family, including Matt's daughters who were also winners, could not attend as they were busy celebrating another sports event. Their absence was felt, but their achievements were celebrated nonetheless!

Musical Background: A First for Everything

In a delightful twist, this year marked the first time the event featured Christmas background music—thanks to Joe! His playlist included everything from classic carols to those catchy tunes that make you want to belt out “Jingle Bells” at the top of your lungs.

Christmas Bags and Cheer

As if the food and awards weren’t enough, every guest received a ‘Christmas bag’ filled with treats. The treats inside ranged from chocolates to goodies that had everyone wondering if they were on Santa's nice list or just really good at hiding their cookie consumption.

Congratulations All Around

The event wrapped up with heartfelt congratulations to all competitors, reminding everyone that while there are champions, every participant is a winner in their own right—especially when it comes to eating! 

A big “thank you” was extended to all Barn Archers and volunteers who made this festive gathering possible.
In conclusion, the Christmas get-together and Barn Champions Awards 2024 was not just about awards; it was about laughter, community spirit, and perhaps too much food (if that’s even possible).
As everyone left with their Christmas bags and smiles on their faces, one thing was clear: this gathering set the bar high for next year’s festivities – and maybe even more unforgettable speeches from Carlo! 🎄🎉
