Hello Ladies,

Summer is finally with us, and things are looking up, with more ladies coming along after their Xmas holiday hiatus and less rain. It’s always lovely catching up after the break.

Postie Party.

Coming up on Saturday January 29th the Women’s club will be hosting a fundraiser, supporting a local Women’s Refuge. In the form of a Postie Party, (Postie” is a Party Plan company, providing gorgeous, wearable and stylish clothing to parties of women.). Starting after bowls at 12.30 p.m. the cost to attend is $5.00 p.p. nibbles will be on the tables but if you would, please bring a plate of sandwiches/slices to share.

Joke of the Week
Celibacy can be a choice in life, or a condition imposed by circumstances.
While attending a Marriage Weekend, my wife and I listened to the instructor declare, ‘It is essential that husbands and wives know the things that are important to each other.”
He then addressed the men, ‘Can you name and describe your wife’s favourite flower?’
I leaned over, touched my wife’s hand gently, and whispered, White Wings Self-Raising Flour, isn’t it?
And thus began my life of celibacy……..
