Staff of the Central Bank let their hair down at the annual Christmas party hosted at the Lion Castle polo clubhouse in St. Thomas, last week.
It was an elegantly c asual affair and not even heavy rain could dampen the evening for the many staffers who turned out.Seated around the stage in a large gaily-decorated tent set on the lawn, Central Bank Governor Dr. Delisle Worrell and his wife Monica responded with roaring laughter as MC Mac Fingall got the party started with his trademark humour, in a session just before dinner.
John Hazzard and his team from Market Five served up a Christmas smorgasborg savoured by diners while the trio of Andre Woodvine on sax, Roger Gittens on piano and Richard Evans on bass serenaded diners .
But the sedated mood changed after dinner when the fun began with Central Bank staff being called to the stage to act out scenarios that evoked side-splitting laughter. There was the vendor trying to attract customers with his sales pitch, two musclemen competed with a pose-down, as contestant after contestant vied for the winning position.
Near midnight it was time to leave the table and shake a leg, and the dance floor was quickly filled. The clock was ticking on to 2 a.m when the finalnote was sounded and the party was over.
