We have a fabulous day at the Hub with 19 participants, which is the largest number since we started.
Thanks to various people spreading the word, Lee Camporeale was there with 4-5 members of the Rotary club of Mitcham. We now have regulars attending which is very exciting to see.
Our guest speaker was Robin Genders from Rostrum speaking about the early days of the Colony. This was a fascinating insight of the lives of the first settlers in South Australia. Arriving with nothing and working hard to set up accommodation and a community. Robin had a distant ancestor who was in the first group, so Robin had much to talk about from written work passed down. Overall, it was extremely well received.
We then had a light lunch which was well received by all.
There was great fellowship, which is the point of this event, many people meeting new friends. I had a lovely text from a young woman who said it was a friendly welcoming atmosphere and she will be back.
Christine took the Yoga chair exercises which everyone enjoyed.
It was good to see everyone enjoying themselves and the feedback is always very positive.
Thank you to Des, John and Steph Rockliff for helping to set up the tables and generally look after the guests. It is only with such support that this event can be successful.
I am also very grateful for the support and encouragement we receive from the City of Burnside thanks to Marissa and Ruby.
