A good day was had by all on Saturday at the President's Barbeque held at Yarran Dheran.
27 people arrived for an afternoon of conviviality. The weather was kind to us and it was just delightful to see so many people chatting, enjoying good food and good company.
When the Finska came out we did see a different side to some of our friendly Rotarians and their lovely partners! We did field a team of Sue's which was quite funny. Fantastic to see Susan De Bolfo and Ann Drayton come along to share the fun.
Thanks to all those that came a long to help make the day so much fun.
