Season Summary

Hey Everyone, Footy is back! You may have seen the posters around the Club or the emails from me about joining the ORSSC Footy Tipping Competition run by one of the Club Anglers, Graeme Cole. In the end they had 76 join the competition which is great.

At the end of the season there will be a Grand Final party for all the participants including food and drinks.

The Social Section has been fairly busy over the last couple months in regard to Club events. We had Linda and I on the door checking tickets for the Rising Sun Tribute Night on Saturday, 1 April and we appreciated everyone’s patience as we had to check tickets by sight instead of with a scanner. We hope to have new scanners up and running for future events to help things run smoother and get you through the door quicker.

Dave and Sarah ran an Easter Egg hunt on Sunday, 9 April for all the kids which is extremely popular every year, they also ran a bunch of games for the kids of different age groups. The lucky winners were Max Foley (under 5’s), Leon Brooks (6-12yrs) and Kobe Allen (13-17yrs). Each walked away with a large Easter Egg! Dave and Sarah also put on a quiz for the adults, the lucky winner was Mandy-Ann Daly who had $50 uploaded onto their member card as a prize.

Sheila (who is also our Hon. Secretary) runs a Quiz Night on the first Wednesday of the month at 7pm in the Club Hall after the Chase the Ace and Jag the Joker has finished. Sheila has been running these Quiz Nights for well over a year and they have become quite popular, the last quiz night on 4 April didn’t leave a spare seat in the Hall. The winners receive $50 on their member card!

We also had the opportunity to run a 100 Club on Friday 31 March, thank you to Erin and Paul who ran around selling tickets and congratulations to the winners.

I’d like to thank our amazing Social Committee who generously donate their time so we can all have a great day and to all of our members and their guests who always show the upmost respect for our volunteers.

Past Events (last month)

Social Section recently headed out to Ascot racecourse for the Furphy Bunbury Cup Day, it was such a great day, we had great weather, a great spot at the Pavilion Bar with views of the track. Everyone had a really good time, so much so we forgot to take many photos - Oops. Several of our members went the extra mile and got dressed up which was amazing – Next time we’ll have to have prizes for best dressed.

We had the comfort of 2 large air conditioned 56-seater buses thanks to BusWest to take us there and back, we had plenty of drinks on board for everyone on the way there to get the day started and unintentionally, on the way back to keep the party going haha.

A couple of our members had an extra amazing day, Dave picked up around $2,500 on the winning house of the Bunbury Cup, ‘Blazing Bay’ and one of our members, Craig McKenzie had a great win as he in part owner of the wining horse!

Next year we hope to run this annual event during Spring Carnival.
