OUTINGS:
As ours is a small club, we only occasionally hire a bus for an event. We did this recently, April 2024, and had a marvellous Mandurah outing with Elite Tours. For more details, refer to our May 2024 Bulletin.
Most often, we car pool and attend local attractions. Over the past few years we have visited Whiteman Park, Marloo Theatre, Fo Guang Buddhist Temple in Maylands, Illusionary Art Gallery, The Pasta Factory in the Swan Valley.
We have also enjoyed a BBQ Sundowner at the Glen Forrest Sports Club, and over the past few Winters, a Soup night at the home of some of our members.
In fact, many of our outings are centred around food, so much so that the motto for our club is rapidly becoming:
Fun, friendship, fellowship and food!
