July 2024 – Travel Update
Thursday 27 Jun, 2024
Welcome everyone
Oh, dear winter. Well, it has been cold and wet!
Travel section celebrated our mid-winter with a dinner at Little River Hotel. In total 51 members had a most enjoyable evening. I must say we would totally recommend this new hotel to celebrate in. It is only 18 months old; I believe. They went to a lot of trouble to make it a success for us.
Their decorations were great, and the friendliness of the staff was exceptional. The manager even greeted us at the door when entering.
The dinner was fabulous, with hot ham, herbed chicken and lamb with lovely vegetables. The cauliflower bake was superb. Along with the roast pumpkin and potatoes, broccoli, peas, carrots, salads and more. We also had a very nice Christmas pudding with custard along with brandy snaps, and pavlova.
Alister, our coach driver, did a superb job driving in very unpleasant weather conditions. We arrived back at the Hornby Club just after 8.30pm.
Our next planned outing is on Sunday 25 August, we will visit Erewhon Station and enjoy wagon rides being towed by Clydesdale horses. We will then head to Mt Potts and have a lovely roast lunch there. This trip is now full. Apologies to those who missed out.
Our next meeting will be Monday 15 July at 7pm.
Stay safe and keep warm everyone
