22/06/2022. Hikers. Tunnel Beach/St Clair. M. Leaders: Kathryn and Sue
We all met on a very cold frosty morning at Peter Johnstone Carpark. We then gathered outside St Clair Golf Club where twenty hikers walked along Hillhead Road then onto Blackhead Road in brilliant sunshine.
We stopped outside the Cemetery for morning tea then onto Tunnel Beach.
For those that hadn’t been there before it was a real eye opener and enjoyed by all.
We had our lunch in sunshine with great views.
We then climbed back up and Ady did comment on the number of stairs she had to climb to get there.
We proceeded back to the cars and went to The Village Green for coffee and a lovely finish to the day. Sue Nichol / Kathryn Fagg.
Midwinter Dinner Occasions
6. 1/7/2020 Midwinter Luncheon. RSA. Leaders : Eleanore and Jill.
Due to the abysmal weather yesterday afternoon, we cancelled the planned walk along the Silver stream, thank goodness we did because the rain kept going last night and today.
Instead, It was lovely to be greeted at the Mosgiel R.S.A. restaurant by 60 Happy faces, particularly our Senior Members, who always enjoy our shared occasions. We were all ready for a good catch up after the Coronavirus lockdown.
Past President Jill welcomed everyone along. Also, on behalf of the Club Jill passed condolences onto Margaret Smith, due to the recent Passing of her beloved Husband Les.
At our 30th Anniversary, Jill as President, had the honour to present both Les and Margaret with Life Membership. Margaret joined in 1988 and Les in 1990. Both dedicating many years of service to the club.
President Arthur thanked both myself and Jill for organising the venue and meal. Also, he mentioned about the trampers’ track clearing trip set down for 8 July.
Grace was delivered by Ian Fleming, another Life Member of the Club.
It was now time to enjoy tasty, well presented Dinners. Choices being—Hot Ham, Fish, Braised Steak or Wiener Schnitzel. Followed by beautifully presented Fruit Crumble or Ice Cream Sundae. Tea, Coffee and Chocolate to finish off with.
Full credit must go to the chef, manager and staff for their effort they put into the meal, and service given.
I hope you all enjoyed the outing as much as Jill and I did.
Eleanore Ryan and Jill Dodd
