After no rain falling since 03 June, it decided to become cloudy, and give us a couple of spits, but not enough to make everyone change their plans and go inside on Friday, then followed by light showers on Saturday.
Eight vehicles with thirteen people arrived on Thursday, then another four vehicles with seven people arriving on Friday.
The ladies set up their game tables under one of the awnings and had a good time. On Friday, Rob’s firepit was working overtime trying to keep us all warm. Everyone decided to have takeaway for tea, so a quick walk by Marjorie and June to the Bellinger Providore, just up on the next corner, and picked up enough seafood, chips and extras to feed an army. What they brought back was what was ordered, nicely cooked, and hot.
On Saturday, everybody went to the huge Bellingen Markets, not worrying about potential rain, some came back with treasures, and some also decided to check out the CBD, a place of many eating spots. At the afternoon tea which was held in a grandstand, fees were collected, and raffle ticket sales took place. Marjorie, as President of Vice, welcomed us all to country, gave out Yvonne’s tidings, and asked Brent to introduce his friends Robyn Brockwell and Jenny Muir, two potential new members.
Those who didn’t go back to the warmth of their units huddled under Rob and June’s awning, and discussed some of the world’s problems.
Sunday started off sunny, so everyone packed up and left after breakfast or morning tea after enjoying a great weekend.
Yvonne Tomlinson had a medical episode on Wednesday 12 June, but she couldn’t have her tests at the Grafton Base Hospital until Saturday. By the time they were done, it was too late to drive down for a couple of hours. We all wished Yvonne the best test results, and that she feels better soon.
Regards, Don Brackenreg (Secretary).
