TALENT ON SHOW

Today’s photos are of Wednesday’s end of year performance by the Recorder Group, for friends and invited guests.  A lovely afternoon of excellent playing followed up by a delightful afternoon tea, provided by the performers.  It is just wonderful to be reminded of, and I am in awe of, the range and depth of talents and interests of members of Woden Seniors.

A WELCOME UPGRADE

This morning the work is being done to upgrade the lighting in the Anne Murray Room.  Our thanks go to the Southern Cross Club who awarded us a grant, enabling us to replace the originals with modern LEDs which will make a big difference for members using the room and of course will make a difference to the amount of electricity consumed.
