President’s Report 21 June 2016
Congratulations to Beth Cliffe on achieving her 100th birthday on 16th June. Well done Beth!
Our last outing, to the Tobruk Sheep Station near Wiseman’s Ferry, was an amazing experience with whip cracking, boomerang throwing, sheep shearing and the clever dogs mustering the sheep. A short side trip down to the Ferry was lovely. Our next outing is to the Tramway Museum at Loftus.
Last week’s walk from Stanmore to the Sydney Fish Markets at Pyrmont was great. The walk took us past the White Creek wetlands and through lovely parklands beside Black Wattle Bay. The next walk is from Circular Quay to Rushcutters Bay.
The May luncheon was held at La Bouchon in Crows Nest. As the French would say,
“tres bien.”
Our speaker today is Alison O’Carroll, a registered psychologist, who will talk about healthy ageing.
A polite reminder for those who have not paid the annual subscription to the Northbridge Golf Club, that payment is due today.

The Sydney Tramway Museum is Australia’s oldest tramway museum and the largest in the Southern Hemisphere; our tour includes a half hour ride on a tram! We have booked for 20 people at a cost of $12 each, which is a total of $240. If we do not have 20 people then we will each have to pay a little more. Please note that this facility has been made available for us on a day that it is normally closed, and it is staffed by volunteers. The bus will depart at 9:00am. Lunch will be at Engadine RSL.
