Birthdays: Believe it or not there are no birthdays in October, girls.

DIARY OF EVENTS:
Our outing to the Vintage Clothing Museum last month was just so interesting, definitely worth the wait, and to top it off our lunch at the Manningham Hotel didn’t disappoint either. Many thanks, Ann, for booking these two venues, fabulous job.

some wonderful stuff for sale, (start thinking Christmas girls).

own way. Lunch will be at own expense at Baxter Tavern (which we pass on the way home).

on arrival. There are animal encounters to be had if you want, (Please note: you pay extra on the
day for the animal encounters - eg: cuddle a koala, hold a barn owl, hold a python or play with

Wow, here’s something for you to put in your “stupid facts” basket:
- Milky Way bars aren’t named after the galaxy, they’re named after the malted milkshakes the bars were supposed to taste like.
- There is a verb “to pink” dating back to the 14th century which means “to decorate with a perforated pattern” hence today’s pinking shears.
- The average human body contains enough water to fill a 50 litre barrel, and enough fat to make seven bars of soap!
- The earth has travelled more than 5,000 miles in the last few minutes it’s taken you to read this Newsletter.
- Venus rotates so slowly on its axis that its day is longer than its year - (righto, righto, don’t ask me what this all means, or how do they know, I only copy this stuff!!)
Enjoy the meeting, ladies
