Soup

Bit of a spur of the moment thing, but we organised for three members , Graeme Harmer, Lino Rovera and myself (well, Mrs President actually) to make some soup dishes for lunch. We had Pea ‘n Ham, Chicken ‘n Vegetable, Minestrone and Pumpkin. Something for everyone. Well also had toast and bread and croutons and crackers and, and and….

Given that there wasn’t much of any soup left, and the happy contented full faces around the table, Id have to say it was a great success.

SouperCars

A bit of FUN. Yes, it’s a bit hard to come by these days, but a blast from all our childhoods as some of the men had a go at the slot cars set up by Mr President. Fortunately the Freddo on offer for the winner of a race wasn’t in any danger as most blokes seemed to be torn between playing cars Report and Image: Brian Blackand feeding their faces. Guess which option won?

The SouperCars were the Holden Commodores of Ginsberg and Lowndes but were withdrawn due to a rear axle failure on the 99 car. Over to Plan B. A borrowed set of Digital Scalextric complete with six cars of various sports types. Technology at its finest. All just taken for granted that you could run six cars on the track at the same time, and that you could be on any lane, and that you could click a button and change lanes…..

Anyhow, we had a bit of fun as you can see from this snap.
