Seymour

Members have enjoyed events conducted by neighbouring clubs, including a lunch at Avenel on Monday and Broadford’s coach trip to Mulwala on Wednesday. However, it was disappointing that more members did not take part.

The next coach trip is to Arthur’s Seat Eagle Skylift. Cost of $40 includes the coach, skylift entry and morning tea.

The bus will depart Seymour at 8 am and pick up at Broadford and Kilmore on the way. Seats are still available, so phone Trish Wray on 0425 811 158 to book .

Expressions of interest are being sought for a proposed eight-day trip to Tasmania in October.

Phone Elsa Gray 5792 1273 if you would like to go.

This trip is not restricted to members.

The Kilmore Seniors have extend an invitation to Seymour to join their overnight trip to Albury on May 18. Cost of $75 includes most meals and accommodation.

We have also been invited to join Broadford for a trip to Ballarat in June. Details will be revealed when finalised.

In club activities last week, Ron Ricardo was victorious in 500, while Pat Gear won euchre and the team of Elsa Gray, John Tencic, Icky Hoogstra and Hans Bothe tasted success in indoor bowls.

New players are always welcome for cards or bowls. Transport can be arranged if required.

There a quite a few members having medical appointments. We extend our best wishes for favourable results. — Bernie Hangan,
