Welcome to this week's news and views from the best over 50s resort on the planet (including Stockholm).
MONSTER RAFFLE & TALENT SHOW
A huge round of applause for all those involved in putting on a great evening's entertainment for our beloved community. Congrats to all the raffle winners and well done to all the residents who entertained us with their individual talents. Special thanks go to Vikki and Cath for giving us such wonderful and varied raffle prizes. Many thanks also to Cathy Cooper, the event co-ordinator, to Margaret the MC and of course the very hard working bar staff. Over $4K was taken at the bar - a new world record for our resort.
200th TRIVIA
Another trivia milestone was reached last Wednesday with our 200th trivia. Eight Pins had a big score in round 3 to cement their victory (only 1 point off 100%).
Despite only having 5 members Peeps On Point just managed to win the Handicap section, and Pearly Greats retained Oscar the wooden spoon.
Trivia returns on Wednesday 8th January with General Knowledge. The bar will not be open so remember - BYO nibbles AND drinks.
BINGO - 2025
Tremendous news for all Bingo addicts. Your favourite game will continue into 2025, with a new lady at the helm, Kaylene. She and her merry band of helpers will be running Bingo, initially the last two Mondays of the month. I believe that the first 2025 Bingo will be on Monday 20th January at the usual time.
TENNIS & BOATING
A few of us celebrated the tennis club breakup at the Summer House today. Our fearless leader, Geoff Speakman, who incidentally had a birthday, decided to show off his prowess by diving backwards into the pool (or was he pushed off camera?). His family was nearby in case he needed saving!Â
He's also the skipper behind the GemLife Pontoon Boat outings.
