Melbourne Cup Sweep

Bronwen and friends were on a MISSION, others were so INCENTIVISED they thought they had it in the bag, but the VERRY ELLEEGANT ones scooped the pool. Of course the GGs won the day – Greg, Greg, Greg and Gavan but not forgetting the other champions Jo W, John M and Pete C.

Congratulations to ALL our winners.

7 sweeps, 168 entries and lots of fun. A record.

Gardening Roster

After another year of lockdown our Gardening Program has been unable to service our properties in our usual way, much to the disappointment of our owners and members alike.

However we are looking to finish off the year with some gardening jobs with a Rotary Members Team only as the student

participation is unavailable for the rest of 2021.

Please check the roster and offer some help to the small team we have available at the moment .

There are spaces for 5 on our roster, please fill it up.

Here is the roster.
