took on the guise of ghouls, ghosts and others to be wary of made the
evening a creepy but colourful one with lots of fun, food, good music,
dancing and camaraderie. Reeshman Jiffry who appeared as a fully-fledged
Vampire was chosen as the best dressed. Other costumes worthy of
mention included Hellboy, Indiana Jones and Zombie with a tin can eye!
