We rounded up a wonderful year with our usual Christmas Party, held at "The Elizabethan", Warrigal. Two coaches loaded with unruly, noisy, and eager members descended on this wonderful venue, all equally determined to have fun. I can honestly report that they were not disappointed.

We have been busy over these past couple of months: October had us riding the South Gippsland Railway with stopovers at Nyora and Korumburra.

| Plenty of seats over three carriages to move around for a chat |
November had us munching on delicious scones, cream and strawberry jam at the Strawberry Farm,
before heading to Seawinds Park at Red Hill for a BBQ lunch. We rounded off the day with a visit to Main Ridge to feed baby goats and taste a variety of goats cheese.

Coming up is our last meeting in November, a "chat n chew" on mince pies, fruit cake and shortbread. No point in having a speaker, he/she would never be heard over the chatter. Then to round off the year our Breakup Christmas Party at "The Elizabethan" at Warrigal.
Our Annual General Meeting welcomed three new members to committee: Jo, Gina and Brenda. Jo and Brenda have taken up positions on the membership tables to record member attendances; Gina is to assist Carol with the Newsletter and Blog. New blood is always welcome and we hope for some fresh ideas to serve our members.

Over the past few months we've had some wonderful days out. A very informative trip to the Jewish Museum and tour of the Synagogue was fantastic and we highly recommend it. Unfortunately, no pictures to share though.
Our most recent trip was to the TAA Museum at Airport West with lunch at Moonee Valley Race Course. This was a lovely trip down memory lane with ex TAA staff who have heaps of stories to relate. The museum is chocka and has a short informative film, heaps of uniforms and the one I like, Wedgewood china which was used on the early flights. WOW!!
We have some really good trips coming up and leading to our big Christmas Bash in December. So stop thinking about it, come along and join in the fun.
