A lovely dinner with great company and a very entertaining guest speaker, Sister Bernadette Mary from Taralga.

Aspects of the Orient,konnichiwa Crookwell!
Our guest speaker for May was Jenny Readhead who has visited Japan many times. Jenny was accompanied by an almost life size Sumo wrestler, well actually he was depicted on a curtain.
Jenny travelled by train and immersed herself in the local culture.
From the atomic blast museum to the colourful festivals with archers on horseback, from the monks in the mountain temples to the elaborate tea ceremonies and the new season green tea ice cream, Jenny has experienced it all and had the audience captivated.

Australia Day Celebrations

What a wonderful celebration it was! Four members told of their journeys to living in Crookwell. Thank you to Leslie, Patrice, Janelle and Trevene for making us laugh and cry.Each had only 10 minutes to convey a life time of events, although Trevene, as a Gemini, felt she should have double that!
This is always a popular night and with our rapidly expanding membership there are many more stories just waiting to be told...
Our next meeting is our AGM on February 22nd, see you all there.
