Recent Trips & Outings
The boys and girls out and about
Dine-Out October was at the San Remo Hotel. It was another great dine-out but had a an air of sadness as we mourn the passing of long time member Bill Hathway just 4 days prior.
It isn't November without a Cup Day celebration so we trotted down to Rhyll where the ladies hatted-up and we all tried to sweep up the winner.
Bendigo Trip

Around 40 of us made the 4 day trip to Bendigo early September. On the agenda were The Great STUPA of Universal Compassion, Deborah Gold Mine, Bendigo Pottery, a trip on the Talking Tram and even squeezed in a couple of Heathcote wineries. Also found time for a couple of dine-out's - one at the infamous old Shamrock Hotel plus numerous happy hours that seemed to last much longer than an hour - as far as I can remember!
The Wooli
The August Dine-Out was held at the Woolli Tavern. The boys & girls enjoyed some good food (and drink) & good company.
North Pier
September at the North Pier - always a good way to spend a lazy spring lunchtime.
