Serendipity Remembrance Garden

Plans are presently being drawn up by two of our members, Chris

Cannin and John Methven. To be situated in the South/East section of

our grounds, between the driveway and the rear boundary fence, it

was felt that this was the ideal location, a peaceful area far enough

away from the entertainment regions, and unlikely to be disrupted if

future expansion is needed. Members of the Women’s Auxiliary, who

are also members of the local garden club, have kindly offered to assist

in the choice and layout of plants and shrubbery for this venture. Work

will commence immediately once the plans have been approved by

committee.

Chris Thompson

Women’s Auxiliary

At last meeting held on the 10th of May. Mary Burke, the advertiser

reporter was also invited, and followed up with an excellent article on

the history of the Women's Auxiliary, and also the fine work being

undertaken presently by this very dedicated group. A very constructive

meeting, filled with a great deal of enthusiasm, and followed by a very

nice lunch. If any ladies are free on the 14th of June, and want to

attend the next meeting held in the ANZAC room starting at 10.30am,

they will be made most welcome.

Islanders Day Club Trip on the Tramboat

Monday May 2nd 40 of us gathered

at the RSL for a bus trip to

Melbourne, and an outing on the

Melbourne Tramboat Cruise.

We left an overcast Island at 8am,

picked a few members up on the

way, and arrived at the Tramboat at

10.30, with the sun shining for us.

We were able to subsidise the trip

for our members, we enjoyed a

lovely morning tea on the boat, we

cruised the Maribyrnong River, and

disembarked at the Anglers Tavern

in Essendon, we enjoyed a lovely

lunch at the Tavern, we rejoined the

boat and our lovely hosts Anthony

and Lisa.

We cruised into Victoria harbour, under the Bolte Bridge past the

sugar mills, Waterfront City Marina, Etihad Stadium.

Everyone agreed that the day was

wonderful, we arrived home tired and

happy about 4.30pm.

Indoor Sports

Both the darts and pool teams are progressing well in their respective associations. The dart team

remains unbeaten, but faces some very strong opposition still to be played, as it progresses through

the first half of the season draw. The pool team is placed in mid field, despite having some of the

best players on the island as members. It was suggested that it might be appropriate to curtail

before game practice at the clubrooms prior to the matches, but this was soundly defeated, as some

members maintained they did not know how they would perform under those trying conditions.
