July 2025 Birthday Celebrations

Members and guests celebrated our Club's 28th birthday with a fun filled day, the highlight of which was an hilarious Op-Shop Fashion Parade where the models's outfits were sourced from local op-shops. It was exciting to have Michael Jackson (aka Ros) and Dame Edna (aka Judy) in attendance.

May 2025 Tribute to Mothers Everywhere

As a tribute to mothers everywhere, guest speakers for May were the mother/daughter team of past president Rhonda Jurd and her daughter Audra Taylor. Rhonda told a fascinating tale of the females in her family from her “granny-granny-granny-grandmother” to herself as a mother, grandmother and great grandmother. The story was then taken up by Audra from her childhood to her children and her children' children.

Outing in September 2024

Our social outing for September was to the newly refurbished Bull and Bush Tavern in Medowie. A great day was enjoyed by everyone and despite the name of the tavern being Bull and Bush, and nothing could convince Lucy that the new mural was anything but a Cow.
