On Saturday 24th October 2015 the club took part in the Big Garage Sale at the Ribbonwood Centre where we publicised the club’s activities with our brochures and flyers as well as our impressive new sign.
Our team were there ready to answer visitor’s enquiries about the club.
The Fathers’ Day Concert was well attended and well received. Everybody seemed to enjoy themselves and the event went off with a bang.
The concert group laid on their usual snacks, a cup of tea and a raffle to follow the concert itself.
If you would like to join the group you are more than welcome, they are always looking for new members whether as a singer or a support staff everybody is welcome to take part. The group meets in the hall every Monday at 12.30pm; why not come along?
Likewise last Thursday the club held its lunch where over 60 people attended, The food as always was excellent and afterwards the lucky door prize draw meant that everybody went away with a prize. You can’t beat that can you?
Not only that but one of our members demonstrated her familiarity with modern technology by telling a joke she had downloaded onto her smart phone. Her audience was very impressed.
It was a busy week but there is more to come…
Don't forget to come early:
During the meeting there will be the usual short reports about the various activities the club offers its members and you are able to bring up matters of interest to members during General Business - don't be afraid to speak up if there is something that concerns you, this is YOUR club.

The last bus trip to the Egyptian Room in Petersham was very popular. The next bus trip is to the CareFlight Helicopter base on the 7th September. Tickets are only $12 so the bus is bound to fill up quickly, remember there are only 20 seats!
Just a reminder that there is no trip in October BUT save your money because we have two trips in November with an extra trip to Flemington Markets on a Sunday mid month.
It hardly seems any time since the club’s Birthday Lunch but tickets for the Fathers Day Lunch will go on sale at this meeting. As usual we will have a lovely lunch in the Sinclair Room at Dapto Leagues Club. Tickets are only $18 - so very good value for money.
Don’t forget to write your name on the back of the ticket for the great door prize (last time everybody went home with a prize).
Great lunch, great company, lots of fun. See you there…
