Together with about half the Congress Attendees I donned my gladrags last night for the Conference Dinner in The Adelaide Convention Centre.
Shauna Hicks, who spoke at the Congress, was the Hostess of my table. We were joined by Michelle Nichols and Jonathan Auld from Ebenezer, NSW, Seonaid Harvey from New Zealand, a lady from Penrith, NSW, a couple from Brisbane and a couple from Blaxland in the Blue Mountains. Five of the six people who were tweeeting from the dinner were seated at out table; the other Tweeeter, Liz Pidgeon was a few tables away. We had great fun talking, laughing, tweeting and posting cheeky messages about the evening.
The entertainment for the evening, a bush dance ensemble was a bit corny but was enjoyed by many, our mate Seonaid joined in the fun when members of the audience were invited to take part. June Penny from the ACT was a very popular the recipient of the AFFHO award for meritorious service to family history. Familysearch representative, Dan Poffenberger who fancies himself as a comedian, was the after dinner speaker giving a humorous presentation looking at quirky entries from parish registers and other documents.
As usual my camera came out of my handbag to record images of the evening.

Thanks Jill for catching so many great memories from the Congress with your camera. It's really good to look back and remember all these moments in time.
