Valentines For the Young at Heart
By Marian SAMPSON
q Kerrie Cordiner, Meryl Miller, and Cathy Lindsay serving up some sweet treats on Valentine’s Day.
THE Probus Club of Port Stephens proved that you don’t have to be young just young at heart to enjoy Valentine’s Day. Love was in the air with members gathering at Bagnalls Beach Reserve for a Valentine’s Day celebration in the cool shade of the late afternoon. A feast of chicken and champagne and other goodies were enjoyed with chocolate hearts and cakes served by Kerrie and Sylvia who organized the Love-In. Even the resident kookaburras swooped in for a nibble. Ann Gibson, the Clubs Publicity Officer, told News Of The Area, “Diana and Ron Souter entertained with appropriate love songs and a few would-be poets chipped
in with some lovers verse, and Lesley Palagy did a fine rendition from The ‘Sentimental Bloke’. “All in all, a couple of hours of fun and friendship,” she said. The Club’s activity calendar for the year is being finalised and it is going to be a busy one, yet again with something for everyone. Participation is the key to making new friends and enjoying your retirement. The Probus Club of Port Stephens meets at the Nelson Bay Bowling Club, 9.30am on the second Thursday of the month.
