Fashionistas Dina White, Judy Chambers Pat McCallum and Gai Baker were thrilled with their prizes.
At the October meeting for Parkes Que, every table was given a sheet of paper with a drawing of an urn on it and about five old coloured pencils or textas. We had to create a beautiful picture with a prize for the best one.
At my table only a blue and a green texta actually worked, making it quite difficult. We didn’t expect to see any masterpieces as displayed in the National Art Gallery.
Fast forward to Melbourne Cup Day when we gathered at Wendy Neville’s home to enjoy a delicious lunch prepared by some of our talented members, to laugh and chat and, of course, to buy some sweep tickets. With three hours between our arrival and the start of the big race, we also held a Fashions on the Field event and played pin the tail on the horse.
Dina White was the best dressed in a soft, beautifully flowing frock, while Judy Chambers won a prize for the latest new trend. Judy had broken the heel off a shoe on her way and attended the party barefooted, while Pat McCallum was awarded a prize for her beautiful shoes and Gai Baker had the best hat.
The prizes for the winners of the five pin the tail competitions were presented, and Lisa Flowers, Robin Morrissey, Judy Chambers, Marg Klein and Kerrie Churchill each received a laminated urn picture from our previous meeting.
We welcome new members and appreciate their fresh ideas and their friendship, so if you would like to know more about Que, please call me on 0407 894498 any afternoon or evening.
Come and join Parkes Que where we help others while having lots of fun!
