Hi Travellers,

The new term begins on an exciting format, on 5th May at 11am Upstairs in the Logan North Library.
 
We have Bev Harkness who will give us a talk on her trip to Iceland. As she is unsure of how to send any photos we wait and see what Bev has in store.

Then we will stop for a meet and greet old friends over a cuppa.

Next we will listen to Michael Yip on his trip to Hobart. He has sent the four pics to wet your appetite on his talk.

Part of a Flight Attendant's arrival announcement: "We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you'll think of us here at US Airways." 

Keep smiling 

Hi Travellers, below are three of Deidre's photos from her trip to Italy.

First is at Venice
Second is at Pompeii
Third is the Trevi fountain at night

Hi Travellers,
it appeared that many of you are travelling as we had a small turn out last Monday. None the less we had two ladies that gave us informative talks on their trips away. Deidre spoke about her visit to Italy, Denise spoke about Hawaii.

Bill Bohlen has asked for people to let him know if they would like a badge, rather than the paper things we have now. I'm in full approval of this idea. They will cost $8 each. At the present time he is just asking for your notification if you would like one. I have put a picture below. Lets get behind this idea.

That was our last meeting of term one. We begin again om May 5th. Enjoy you holiday break, see you next term.

Next meeting on 17th March, St Patricks Day, lets have fun and wear something green.
Deidre will give us a talk on The Magic of Italy" and " The Italian Grande'

Today's Meeting

We had a very exciting meeting this morning with three excellent speakers.

We started off with Desley, who told us all about their trip to the Eastern Capitals of Canada and their cruise from Montreal to Boston and New York.

Desley showed us photos of her trip

Montgomery Falls outside Montreal 

A very familiar New York Landmark

Then Denies took us on a very emotional tour of the First World War Battlefields of France.

One of the cemeteries for fallen soldiers on French soil

Australians are well regarded in France

And finally Will Landman talked to us about one of their fishing trips, with his son, to New Zealand.

Will told us about a fishing trip to NZ.

Will is grappling with one of the fish he caught

Will's son caught this little beauty

I hate to tell you, but apparently they let them all go. What a waste, ha ha.

As I said, a very interesting morning.
