Update: October
At the Buzz meeting on August 25, Helen Little and friends from the ladies’ speakers club were introduced. A poem was read about what we are worth when we get older, which had us all laughing.
Molly read an account on a gentleman and we had to guess who she was describing – Hilda came up with the correct answer of Ronan Keating, the Irish singer.
We were then taken all around Dumfries and had to imagine what it was like in our childhood days; it was very hard to imagine there were 74 shops at one time, and fun trying to guess where they all were!
Another account was read out on a gentleman and Margaret McCafferty guessed the correct answer this time – it was Alexander Fleming, who invented penicillin. On September 8, Isobel Evans filled in at our meeting in the absence of our speaker from Citizens’ Advice due to illness. We were shown a video on a trip to Australia, including a sail in Sydney harbour, complete with its famous opera house and harbour bridge. In the botanic gardens, the flowers were lovely, with some very different from those which we have here. On we went to Coffs harbour. They do a bit of surfing there, and there are lots of kangaroos in the park – we even saw one with a joey in her pouch. We continued to Byron Bay, very famous for surfing and full of young people. We also saw the rainforest and Lake McKenzie – where the water is meant to purify your body. Finally, we were transport to the Great Barrier Reef. Our forthcoming meetings are: October 6 Crafty Time with Janet; October 20 Around the World in 90 Days with Rev Bill McKenzie; and November 3 Remember Remember with Isobel Evans.
