Another successful Melb Cup luncheon donendusted. 80 attended.
There were winners galore with 14 sweeps managed by Margaret and Owen. A big thankyou to Angela Dow-Nicholls for winning the $20 sweep ($240) and donating to Fish Restocking and John Elphick for doing the same. We had a huge food spread organised by Gemma Dare and a group of willing helpers, Rhonda, Kym, Toni, Marion, Len and Brian F. Everyone pitched in on the day. It was fabulous.
I would love to thank Ian Sharman and Vic Hollis who made wonderful music and had everyone up dancing and singing along to the old favourites.
Total for fish restocking was $790 with 2 quick raffles.
