In response to the plea for a replacement sofa for the North Room of the Shelter, we now have a gorgeous leather lounge suite. Many, many thanks to Anne for the donation and Geraldine for transport.
Next, Pat arrived at the Shelter with his ride-on mower. He and Peter (with the ordinary mower) completed the mowing in record time. The grounds around the Shelter were manicured for the Work Partiers. 

Congratulations!
Hoorah! for our splendid Australian XC Olympians.  We are especially proud of our magnificent local Olympians - Callum and Aimee Watson and Barbara Jezersek. Read about their latest success at http://pyeongchang2018.olympics.com.au/news/aussies-secure-best-ever-cross-country-team-sprint-result.  Well-deserved congratulations also to the rest of the Australian XC contingent - Phil Bellingham, Jessica Yeaton and Casey Wright.
