Fellowship on Wheels Issue: 11 Established 1949 November. 2014 Presidents Report Vice Presidents report Sorry folks,enjoying life on the Ocean waves There were 39 vans including 3 first time visitors Keith and Kay Chorley and Rod Stegeman plus one visitor from the Blue Mountains Caravan Club Dennis Cotterill. (plus a resident Koala).Our golfers hit off early on Friday morning and included 4 ladies. The Ambrose competition was won by Alf, Kev and Peter. Saturday afternoonsaw the pairs disc bowls competition hotly contested. Congratulations to the winners Peter and Nerida and what a popular win it was. Several games were won on the last end and there was fierce competition right up to the final. Saturday night was Oktoberfest and congratulations must go firstly to Yvonne Robbins our entertainment coordinator. Yvonne was ably helped by many ladies and men. A sausage and sauerkraut on a roll washed down with German beer was a high light and Yvonne cooked 4 large trays of Apple crumble. What a night! Not a big rally by our standards but quality all the way. Thanks to Roy and Carmel for stepping into the convenors job. Seven couples from the club boarded the Sea Princess on the Monday following the rally for a trip to New Zealand. I think happy hour will be a daily thing on board. Safe travel and we look forward to our next rally at Maleny and don t forget your French costume.
