Aussie croquet was played on Saturday 12 July with only a small number in attendance, however those who played enjoyed the game.
We welcomed back John Allegri who has been on an extended stay overseas due to becoming ill there, however he is home and slowly recovering and was great to see his return to croquet. Tony Bernardi has joined our croquet club and is enjoying a game and the social aspect.
Our valued member Fay Picker has had knee reconstructions and is progressing favourably. Fay called in on Saturday to say hello and we hope it won’t be long before she is back for a game. Best wishes Fay.
Three games on 12 July were won by Noel Jolliffe and Kevin Rubie.
Seniors are catered for on Monday nights at the Vandenberg Hotel with half price meals.
Sadly the Post Office Hotel will close its doors on 13 July and the town is in mourning for what has been a popular place for locals. Forbes Croquet Club has enjoyed bi-monthly luncheons there on occasions and the food was most enjoyable. Thank you to the excellent staff.
