Luckily the weather held out for us, with just a few showers one morning, which only served to freshen up the lawns – thanks go to our grounds committee. Everyone had an enjoyable time, renewing friendships and often sitting around for lunch provided by the volunteers in the kitchen. On Tuesday night a group stayed at the Clubhouse for an informal get-together over Kentucky Fried Chicken! On the Wednesday night twenty of us met at Jack Duggan’s Irish Pub for our Croquet Dinner, which gave players a chance to bring their partners. And on the Thursday night a small group enjoyed a Chinese meal at Marigold Gardens. Michael and Denise Fogarty, Annette McManus and Gail Osborne, all from Bathurst, enjoy the Croquet Carnival dinner at Jack Duggan's Irish Pub We look forward to another Carnival this time next year. Maybe we will see YOU there!!! |
