Social: Preparations for the Club Christmas Corroboree Outback Adventure are progressing. This mystery will be on 16th December 2014 at Joan and Bill Steains Adventure Park. You are requested to wear outback gear and to meet at 6pm in the caravan park car park.
Entertainment will be The DEADLY DANCERS, (An Aboriginal Dance Group) together with their mentor Corrina.
An outstanding meal outside the normal will be served for your delectation about 7pm. There will be four courses! (At a cost of around $25.00.) A Bush Poet will precede Father Christmas…. That is if he is not bogged in America. All facilities for the ladies will be available…not sure about the men. It is recommended that you are not late at the car park, as we may never see you again.
It should be a great fun night.
Art Show: A more detailed report will be available when the final figures are available.
Senior Citizens Christmas Dinner: 2/12/2014
This is the 18th time we have hosted this very popular event. Ninety-one people attended as well as approximately 20 Rotarians. (These numbers seemed fewer than usual which many felt was disappointing.)
Rod Greer and Norm Elliott entertained guests. Santa came, arriving with some difficulty due to the weight of his fragile sack and problems with keeping the sweets for our guests within bounds. His capable helpers saved the day with shopping bags!
The meal provided by the Bowling Club was excellent and by the buzz of conversation and laughter, the event was enjoyed by all who attended.
Please note it is essential that apologies be recorded by 12noon on Mondays. Also the Club has to pay for members who have apologized and not turned up!
Phone number is 0457 315 900, Thank You.
A Reminder… I would be very grateful if a hard copy of reports could be given to me at the meeting….It would make my task easier!
