Green Olive Press Christmas Party - Better late than never!

Green Olive Press staff gathered during the third week in January at Thai Terrific restaurant in Bondi Beach for a fashionably late Christmas do. And a terrific dinner it was. The party provided the perfect opportunity for the growing team to get to know one another and to celebrate a successful year of business.

In attendance were Caroline Webber (Director), Belinda Holmes (Editorial Intern), Irma Alberti (Archivist), Sam Booth (Events Manager), Sonia Popat (Communications Manager) and their partners.

New mother Bhavna Khanna (Photographer) was obliged to stay at home to comfort little Rani after a traumatic afternoon of immunisations… Dorothy Beaumont (Editor and Proofreader) from overseas was also missed – a skype connection was discussed for the next gathering! Sam Low (Designer) and Mandy Swann (Editor) were sad to miss the event due to health reasons. (Sam has been working too hard on GOP publications, and the above invitation!)

Thanks to Caroline Webber who treated the team to a delightful meal and Christmas gifts! The food and service were excellent. Conversation flowed between slurps of laksa, crunches of calamari and oodles of pad thai. Colleagues shared ideas for the year ahead and departed feeling upbeat and excited for 2012!

Green Olive Press would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy, healthy new year!
