Birthday Lunch

A big "Thank you" to everybody who attended our 51st birthday lunch at Dapto Leagues Club on the 25th July and contributed to its success. Special thanks to those who donated such wonderful raffle prizes. Over 90 members attended.

The food was excellent, the club certainly has made splendid meals for our last couple of lunches after a bit of a rough patch with undercooked vegetables. The fish in particular was well received and I think that might be on the menu again early next year, there were certainly no complains about the chicken dish either.

Oh, what fun we had!

During the lunch a small presentation was made to Ed and Min Tall who have handed the reins of the 'Gentle Exercises for Seniors' group over to someone else. Ed and Min originally started the group over 7 years ago and have enjoyed their time as group leaders but felt it was time for new faces to take it into the future. Min is famous for the delicious treats she brings to each Thursday afternoon session, what a champion cook she is.

By the way if you want to take part in the exercise group new members are most welcome. The classes are held under the watchful and expert eye of a qualified instructor and run at a pace designed for the over 50s. Why not have pop along and have a look next Thursday?

Fathers' Day Lunch

The club's next lunch is on the 19th September when we celebrate Fathers' Day. If you haven't been to one of our lunches do make the effort to come, you won't get a better meal for $15, a modest price that includes your entry in the massive raffle held once the meal is over. All members are welcome to join in the fun. Tickets for the next lunch will go on sale toward the end of August.
