• ANNUAL BBQ PICNIC
• What a great 3G’s day we had last week at the BBQ picnic, being Good weather (at no extra cost), Good food (morning tea plates and tender meats) and last but most important the Good friendship of the people who attended.

• My lovely wife was still rubbing Pain Away into her vocal cord muscles two days later. I appreciated the gratitude speech, by Gordo, and the members response to my involvement, however I would ask in future if the appreciation words could be a bit louder as the people in Waterfall could not hear all the appreciation words.

  A special thanks to those helpers, who without, we would not have had such an enjoyable day. In particular, Joe Gough, Brian Cannings and the crying onion man, Jeff Ireson.
