GLFC Casserole/Rock’n’Roll/Card Night 6/1/2016
Wow! What a great
night of camaraderie, fun and competition it was. Ruth did an admirable job in
coordinating and creating a wonderful menu for the night, with a great variety
of nibbles casseroles and desserts. Thanks to all those who contributed.
Rocking up at 6 p.m.,everyone
helped to quickly get the tables set with Raelene using tongs to lower down the
lit candles, creating a lovely atmosphere.
Boiling the beans seemed to be the most challenging part of the evening!
The pie warmer and oven came in handy for keeping the casseroles warm. Did you
know that the glass doors of the pie warmer can be easily removed enabling larger
items to be placed inside. As we
finished up our meal the blinds were opened to see the last of the setting sun.
How privileged we are to have one of the very best views in town to dine by!
Thanks to Neil and
Linda for organising the Rock’n’Roll with sure footed assistance from Greg and
Robin. The demonstration at the
beginning showed off their skills ….. can’t believe that Rock’n’Rolling skills
seem to go hand in hand with fishing skills for some of our members. Only a few
took on the challenge of learning the basic steps but who knows where it will
lead for them! The Bills and Widdowsons were refining their Canasta skills, others
played Euchre and later on I taught Jack Jan and Raelene the card game 3/13
- an easily taught but challenging and
frustrating game.
Whilst all this
was going on, the kitchen was whipped back into shape by the helpers. Even the humblest of jobs provides a
situation where you got to know your fellow club members better!
I’m not sure who
instigated the concept of the evening but what a great way of getting together
and using our Clubhouse. With meetings only every second month it is providing
a nice social atmosphere in the club with various meals etc. taking place in
lieu of meetings every month. There is now a locked cupboard in the Bar area
thanks to Alby and Robin. This is so we
can securely store few foodstuffs out of the storeroom which is always hot. The
labelled key for this is kept in the storeroom.

Tyers Angling Club versus GLFC Competition 28/2/2016
Eight members fished on Sunday the 28th as well
as eleven from LTAC. The weather was perfect with a slight breeze across the
water. I drove around for an hour and a half looking for fish on the ‘fish
finder’ but to no avail. Then I had a phone call from Don to tell me they had
caught eight on the edge of the channel into Fisherman’s Landing so I had no
reason not to get there quickly. There I also found Ian and Shaun who were
having lots of luck as well.
After some time I manage to drag in four fish thus escaping
the zero score in the average.
Unfortunately GLFC‘s average was 635.75 gms whilst our
opponents was 657.09 gms thus the shield left our wall for twelve months. May
Beveridge won the biggest bream of the day with a fish weighing in at 1140 gms
– looks like the ‘dynasty’ continues!!!
A BBQ was held at our rooms, in splendid sunshine and with great
camaraderie between the two clubs.
