Hardings Paddock Picnic

15th January

On Sunday, 15th January, we ventured to Hardings Paddock, Purga for a day of relaxation after a busy Christmas and New Year. Joe and I arrived a little before 9.00am to make sure we had a good spot.
Shortly afterwards, Lorraine and Gordon arrived and it was decided that a little ground maintenance was needed. So Joe rang Gary Chapman to see if he could bring out his Whipper Snipper to cut the long grass around the Picnic spot. Gary and Betty arrived shortly after and before long had the area looking nice.

After that a steady flow of people arrived and settled in for a good chat.

Before lunch Lorraine decided that it would be good to get a little exercise and took those interested on a walk around one of the tracks.

After lunch Kelby and the kids decided to have a game of cricket, while a few others played Bocce. Eleni and Natalie arrived with some Craft books and this kept some of the ladies entertained for a while.

Thank you to everyone who came along and made the day an enjoyable one. Thank you to Lorraine, Gordon, Gary and Betty for your help in setting up and all those who helped to pack up.
