Congratulations to Ben Winther and partner Tash, who have introduced a new baby girl into the world.
Hollie Ann was a nice comfortable 7lb 7oz (although Tash probably doesn’t think that) and both Mum and Baby Girl are doing well.
Congratulations also to happy grandparents, Fay and Graham.

On Friday 9 December our new friends from MCC Netball held their Christmas function at Swinburne Avenue.
The 22 in attendance enjoyed the BBQ provided by Don and Rae Graham and the Dick Meadows services were well utilised behind the bar.
After the meal and some coaching from the Ian’s, Cave and Smith, some serious(?) bowls were played and some new future talent was uncovered.
All in attendance had an enjoyable evening and look forward to similar events in the future.
The Bowls Section wishes its netballing friends success in the finals they are due to play.

This past Sunday saw 100 members and their guests celebrate Christmas at the Swinburne Avenue clubrooms.
The wonderful meal provided by Spitting Image Catering was enjoyed by all. This was topped off by Santa, as solid as a brick (as usual), who attended and entertained all those present, providing gifts to all the children in attendance. Santa’s little helper was Elf Cave, who proved to be quite the musician (even when he wasn’t sitting at the organ).
Thanks to those members who arrived early to help set up for the day. Special thanks also goes to Greg and Karen Thomson for organising the day, Dick and Sandra Meadows for arranging the gifts and balloons; and all the Members who attended.
It was the best Christmas lunch for some time and has raised the bar for future functions.
