It is envisaged that that this activity would take place most mornings during the week in the veranda area.

Melbourne Cup

What a wonderful afternoon! Sometimes it was difficult to hear above the excitement! The food brought in by members was plentiful, varied and delicious.

Our thanks to Tony McDonald for organising and running the sweeps, without which it wouldn’t seem like a Melbourne Cup. Thanks especially to Anne Murray, Lutana McLeod and Cindy McMillan for their planning and work in staging the event.

See you all next year.
