Outings Report

August and September Club Outings

G’day members,

Firstly, I’d like to thank Keith and Jan for putting together the great runs we were able to share with other Club members over the last year. Hope you are well on the road to getting out and about Keith.

On the 20th of August we went along to Boonah Barefoot bowls. Meeting at Goodna Maca’s the sun was up, we headed out along the Cunningham Highway onto the Boonah - Fassifern Road towards Boonah. Pulling into the car park we had everyone looking out over the lawn’s thinking they’ll be the winner on the day.

We moved inside where we were greeted by the owners who hadn’t long taken over the running of the place. We tucked into some morning tea before heading out to roll the balls from one end to the other and back again, some of us having a bit a luck getting near the jack. A few balls ending up way off line. Good to see people having a laugh even at themselves at times.

Afterwards we headed back inside for lunch with a great menu on hand to feed us. Craig raffled off several $50 amounts for fuel which was well received. A beautiful view from our table overlooking the hills in the distance. With lunch done we chatted a bit longer then headed home back through Beaudesert. Great day all u.

Sunday 17th September, we meet at Goodna before heading out to Ipswich Nature Centre. Craig and Robin had made their way out earlier to set up the trailer. Everyone took a plate to share when we arrived.

Most of us took the time to walk through the nature centre checking out all the animals in their enclosers, not staying under any of the trees to long as all the bats hanging in them made it risky so that you didn’t get bombed on. Pretty interesting, lots to see also there was the Japanese garden to stroll around.

The lunch was put on by the club, much appreciated. And we wouldn’t have had it without the efforts of Craig and Robin for all the work putting together the tasty lunch. With everyone going back for seconds and thirds by a few, Craig rounded of the day by giving away several fuel $50 vouchers. Have to be there to win it. Another top day with a great lot of friends

Looking forwards to next month run up to the Cabarlah Markets. We’ll be heading up through Esk to the markets and then back through Murphys Creek stopping in at Spring Bluff.

Drive safely,

John and Linda Gladstone
