Like Sands Through the Hour Glass, so are the Barbecues of our Lives ...

A large group of Club members gathered at the Riverton Leisureplex this evening for the end of an era – the final social event on the Club’s social calendar and the last barbecue EVER of the Riverton AUSSI Masters Swimming Club.

Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him well.
(Shakespeare’s oft-misquoted phrase from Hamlet on the fragility of life)


By the end of this year, the Club will no longer exist under a name which has stood the test of time since its inception. However, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the Club will resurrect itself under a new name for 2010 and beyond, and move onwards and upwards.

The evening was balmy, the food was delicious and the camaraderie was evident and it was a great note to end the social calendar for the year. Mark addressed the gathering and reminded everyone about the AGM next Monday evening from 7 pm until 9 pm. Members are welcome to swim from 6 pm until 6.45 pm prior to the meeting getting underway in the crèche which has been booked for the evening. The meeting will commence at 7 pm and will break part way through for a pizza break.


Thanks to Mick and Leanne who cooked up a storm at the final barbecue, delivering everything done to perfection, and thanks to Lea who organised the event.

FUNNY PHOTO TIME
I just HAD to include the following photo. We had an interested spectator behind the glass! A potential new member - maybe!
