At our May meeting we were surprised and pleased by the announcement of the recent marriage of two of our members, Margaret and Bill. They were joined by 140 guests at their wedding, which included Margaret’s six children, their partners, and seven grandchildren. Bill’s large family of nieces and nephews were also included in the celebration. A three-week honeymoon to far north Queensland awaits. Congratulations Marg and Bill.
Another member, Cate, is over the moon to become a first time grandmother to a baby girl, after having three sons of her own.
Sue H was acknowledged for her five years of service to Bearbrass Probus in roles of President, Secretary and membership officer. Now that she is no longer on the management committee, she has found time to travel the Camino trail, solo. What an achievement! We will hear more of Sue’s adventure at the June meeting.
The speaker, Peter Duras, was captivating and inspired our imagination. He took us on a fantasy trip back 2400 years to Olympia, 376 BCE for the original Games. There were questions aplenty before President Colleen closed the meeting and we headed off for lunch at TAP831!
