December, 2024

Just realized I usually include a Christmas pic in this issue but have forgotten to do so this time, Anbother indicator that old age is winning our personal competition. 

November was a quiet time for us with a day out on Melbourne Cup Day being our major outing. On that day we went to the Toowoomba Golf Club but we didn't have any wins from bets or sweeps. One of our members did score a win with a quinella. All the party ended up at villa 12 for further drinks and nibbles after leaving the golf club.

Our state election resulted in a change of government but our sitting member was re-elected so  is now a member of the governing body .

Our Wednesday morning and Friday afternoon meetings continue at the Community Centre. Our Manager organises special speakers for the Wednesday sessions at times and so we have heard about scamming from Police Link personnel and the NBN network was explained by a representative during the last month. Our bottle sales also funded a morning tea out at Park House Restaurant opposite Queens Park.

Nick has now finished renovations on the house they purchased so they are hoping to move in very soon  and save all those rent payments.

Nick has also finished his studies for his Bachelor of Businee and Commerce Degree. Congratulations on completing that Nicholas.

Parker had her ballet concert during the month but we missed being able to attend this year. She enjoyed it however and maybe some pics next month.

May the Christmas period be a joyous occasion for all

Cheers,

Merv
