Welcome to this week's news and views from the best over 50s resort on the planet (including Los Angeles).
GENERAL MEETING Wed 27 Nov
Many thanks to all the residents who took time out of their busy schedules to attend as well as all those who filled out the proxy forms. Both motions were carried, meaning that we will be spending a few dollars on a new website (hooray) and spending a few more dollars on our Xmas Dinners scheduled for next week (hooray again).
Congratulations to General Knowledge Trivia winners Extra Pins. Gran Torino won the handicap section, and Moonrakers decided that it was time to take home Oscar the Wooden Spoon again.
The next trivia is on Wednesday 4 December - MUSIC SPECIAL SONGS.
Sadly no Trivia on Wednesday 11 December - Xmas Dinner instead.
On Wednesday 18 December it will be the 200th Trivia. A chance for all teams to score 100% in MUSIC Favourites. I hear a rumour that there will be some special prizes that night - so be there or be square.
LAKESIDE CAFE

Good news folks !! Our Lakeside Cafe will be open on Wednesday, serving FREE tea and coffee with food orders. Pop over to the clubhouse for a chat and a snack.


SEX & CHOCOLATE
SAT 7 DECEMBER
A fabulous night's entertainment will be with us once again courtesy of our very own Awesome Foursome. This will be their last show so come along for a night of singing and dancing. They have also persuaded the WoodFired Pizza Van to make an appearance from 4pm to 7pm. They make the most delicious pizzas. How lucky we are !!

AQUA GEMS
The final classes for 2024 will be on Tuesday 10 December and Friday 13 December (oh my gosh Friday the 13th). Classes will resume Tuesday 21 January and Friday 24 January.
Aqua Gems will be holding their Xmas party on Tuesday 10 December at 11am. Please let Karen know if you wish to attend. For further details call Karen on 0422 407 645. Remember to bring a plate.

There will be 6 races on the day, 3 for the DF65 division (smaller boats) and 3 for the DF95 division (larger boats). The sailors will be competing for gold, silver or bronze medals in each division and their name on the Salty Sailors perpetual trophy housed in the games room bar cabinet.

GEMLIFE CHARITY WEEK
Trestle tables will be at the back of the clubhouse from Sunday 8th December. A gentle reminder - no out-of-date goods, no alcohol, no cash, no gift vouchers. Gifts for children - please wrap the gift and mark BOY or GIRL and AGE group.
