A joyful, happy meeting of Que ladies last week signalled the return of near normality to our community though we are all well aware of the need to continue hand washing, reasonable distancing and testing for Covid at the slightest symptom. And what a great night it was.
It was a great night starting with Vice-president Ann-Marie Wynter installing three new members: Janene Dwyer, Heather Harvey and Joanne Burke.
We had a wonderful, unexpected visitor. Parkes Olympian Mariah Williams swept into the room, demonstrating her hockey stick skills. She told us how much she had enjoyed the recent Commonwealth Games. She also prepared a quiz on the games for us and brought back prizes for the winners.
We were absolutely delighted with the wonderful prizes from London, ranging from a box of Twinings tea bags to the booby prize of a jar of wholesome English mustard.
Mariah was not the only hockey star to be applauded on the night, we had a special acknowledgement of our own member, Fran Dixon, who is in Cairns this week to play in the NSW Blues over 65 masters hockey team. We wished Fran and her team the best of luck at the Australian Championships.
The guest speaker at our October meeting will be Fiona Sanderson, deputy principal of Trundle Central School, to tell members about the benefits of the sound systems we have supplied to them.
Que continues to welcome new members and their new ideas. Que does great work in the community but always with great fellowship and fun. Want to know more? You can see us on Facebook or ring me on 0407 894 498.
