Bernie and I are away for a short break and having a great time. I recommend Yamba as a top spot. This week's guest speaker is Lucette Harper, Manager from The Smith Family presenting to us about The Wonderful Work of The Smith Family.
What a great presentation we had last week from Mick Garnett CEO of Wheelchair Sports NSW. He spoke about "Sport in a wheelchair". It was very topical with Dylan Alcott announcing this week that he will retire after the Australian Open in 2020.
On 4 November we lit our Diwali lamp, so kindly given to us by Sandeep and Rajesh. It is great to learn about other traditions and to be able to participate.
