“Coodabeen Champions”  Member’s Anecdotes at meeting 13^th January.

 

With the first meeting of the year we will have members still away on an extended Christmas/New Year break plus it is difficult to get speakers at this time of the year.

 

So instead we want members to share sporting anecdotes that they have seen or experienced. Emphasis on short so we can get a lot of anecdotes shared.

 

Only one rule, they must meet the first two aspects of the Rotary Four way test.

 

 

 

​Thanks to Dick and Pam for very kindly offering their home in McCrae for the day. 

 

Below is an assortment of photos from Dick and Sue W.

 

​Enjoy!

I have booked 12 cottages at Stonelea Country Estate  Acheron.  Each cottage has a double bed or if you require 2 singles and an ensuite.  A cooked breakfast is included in the price of $129.00 per cottage. Usual cost is $149.00.  Stonelea is 10km out of Alexandra (all motels in Alex are booked out ).

 

John Sharwood is trying to organise a Mini Bus to transport us I have arranged for us to get in to the cottages around 11.00am so we can call at the Cottages prior to going to the races.

We will go to the races then come back to freshen up prior to going to the Golf club for Dinner We will be with other Rotarians from Alexandra and possibly some other clubs.

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2016 when...

1... You accidentally enter your PIN on the microwave.

2... You haven't played Solitaire with real cards in years.

3... You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three..

4... You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5... Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.

6... You pull up in your own driveway and use your mobile phone, to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries...

7... Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen

8... Leaving the house without your mobile phone, which you didn't even have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic, and you turn around to go and get it
