Dates to Remember

Saturday 21 June – Winter solstice – summer will be on its way on Sunday 

Also, no more public holidays until October!!!

.

REMINDER – ACTIVITY FEE INCREASE

.

A reminder that there will be small increase in our activity fees from Tuesday 1st July 2025.

.

The fee schedule will reflect a $1.00 increase per activity, so the new fees will be

.

First activity on a day – $7.00
Second activity on the same day – $5.00
Any additional activity on the same day – $0.00.
YMCA sessions – $8.50
Visitors attending an activity – $8.00

.

New vouchers to use from 1 July are available from Polly now. 

.

HOWEVER – if you have unused $7.50, $6 or $4 vouchers at 1 July, Polly will stamp them with the Club stamp to indicate that they are now $8.50, $7.00 or $5.00 vouchers – for the bargain price of $1.00 per stamp.  You can, of course, also simply use your old vouchers and add $1.00 cash.

.

SOUP – Wow

.

If you haven’t lined up for a soup lunch on either Monday or Wednesday – what are you waiting for?

Thanks to a growing number of leaders and volunteers in this space, delicious homemade soup accompanied by fresh (and often homemade) bread is available for the bargain price of one activity voucher or equivalent cash.  See you there?

BACK OF HOUSE

.

Have you been for a wander around to the back of the Club building lately?  The view on one side is of course parking area and cars, but some determined activity undertaken by our hardworking garden group is making a difference to what was once an uninspiring area along the edge of the building.  Well done team.

Today’s groaners

.

I’ve started investing in stocks: beef, vegetable, chicken. One day I hope to be a bouillianaire.

If you boil a funny bone, it becomes a laughing stock. 

I accidentally rubbed ketchup in my eyes. Now I have Heinzsight.

I tried to come up with a carpentry pun that woodwork. I thought I nailed it but nobody saw it.

Singing in the shower is fine until you get shampoo in your mouth. Then it’s a soap opera.

The Black-Eyed Peas can sing us a song but the chick peas can only hummus one.

How much does a chimney cost? Nothing, it’s on the house.

Ran out of toilet paper, now using lettuce leaves. Today was just the tip of the iceberg, and tomorrow romaines to be seen.

My friend Jack says he can communicate with vegetables. That’s right…Jack and the beans talk.

I want to tell you about a girl who only eats plants. You probably have not heard of herbivore.

I was struggling to understand how lightning works and then it struck me.

I went to the paint store to get thinner. Boy. That didn’t work.
