Our next Laser Training Session in May happens on Friday 9th May 2025.

Join everyone in our Autumn garden for fresh baked scones, jam and cream with friendly companionship. All existing members as well as any prospective members are welcome. 

All members are welcome to join our Art Group and explore their own artistic talents, try a new medium, have a go or just watch and learn a little as other members experiment and create. No previous experience is necessary.

We still have a few places remaining so dont delay, get your place now before we open the event to others. Our next Group tasting will happen on May 6th, starting at 4;30pm. This month we have a tag team comprising Les Gunn and Michael Hart. The theme is “Compare Old World to New World Wines”. You will be provided with a “New World” wine and its equivalent from elsewhere. We shouldn’t give hints as to where the wines will come from, but Les tells me he has been drawing on advice from a friend who is Italian-American and Michael Hart with his Irish background, so that may be a guide or perhaps a misdirection. As normal the number of attendees is limited to 20 and the cost for the evening is $25. Our Tastings have recently been taken up quickly, so we recommended you get in early and buy a ticket.

This month - a visit to Athens ! For the May monthly lunch our resident scone guru Anthony Armson will lead the Kitchen Team in preparing the classic Greek dish moussaka. This will be followed by a dessert of baklava (what's not to like). So sign up, come along and enjoy a meal with your mates ! Cost for food will be $20 with beer and wine at standard prices.   As usual, we need pre-payment with your registration.  You will be able to get a credit towards a future event if you cancel at least 24 hours before the event. Should you need to cancel, please send an email to wernerribul@mac.com. No-shows on the day will forfeit their ticket fee. Both of us hope you will be able to join us. Best regards, Werner and Michael
