FROM THE PRESIDENT
Owing to the fact that our new President is in Queensland taking care of her Grandmotherly duties—together
with the Grandfather who is performing his Grandfatherly duties, we do not have a report from Marion this
month, however in place of her literary genius I have decided to publish a photograph of the new Committee.
What an impressive “lot” you may say, but then again ………………………………..
For new members I will include names and “titles” from left to right:
Back Row: Allan Collins (Senior Vice President), Trevor Bland (Treasurert), Phil Reid (Speakers Convenor),
Norrie Dudgeon (ex officio and Past President), Anthea Osborne (Outings Convenor).
Front Row: Kris Pannah (Secretary), Marion Longstaff (President), Lesley Dudgeon (Newsletter Editor), John
Longstaff (Public Officer). Unfortunately absent: Kerrie Sims (Membership/Welfare Officer).
Should you wish to contact any of us for any reason our names and contact details appear on the second last
page of this and subsequent Newsletters.
PUNCTUATION IS POWERFUL! (You’ve probably seen this before but I think it is worth reading again—whichever way you prefer!)
An English Professor wrote the words ……….
“a woman without her man is nothing”
on the whiteboard and asked his students to punctuate it correctly.
All of the males in the class wrote:
“A woman, without her man, is nothing.”
All the females in the class wrote:
“A woman: without her, man is nothing.”
Punctuation is powerful.

ART OUTING
VISIT TO THE GREAT SYNAGOGUE IN SYDNEY ON 12TH MARCH 2015
The Art Interest Group met outside the beautiful wrought iron gates of the back entrance to the Great Synagogue just before noon. After a brief security check we were greeted by our 82 year old guide Andrew Solomon. He was fantastic – knowledgeable, informative and very charismatic.
The architecture and decoration of the Synagogue is a beautiful mix of Gothic, Romanesque, Moorish Revival and Byzantine. The ceiling is painted blue with stars scattered over it, just like in the Capitol Theatre. The whole Synagogue is feast for the eyes and yet a quiet and spiritual refuge from the noise and commercialism of the city.
We were shown a twenty minute film about the history of the Jews in Australia, from the arrival of the original nineteen on the First Fleet to the present day, covering their faith, customs and family life.
Andrew explained more of the customs and faith and handed around books that are used during their services and his own scroll of the Torah (given to him by his mother on his 21st birthday). He chanted some verses from the Torah in Hebrew and also played a genuine ram's horn.
Next he took us downstairs to the museum where we viewed the Great Synagogue's collection of Jewish artifacts, including textiles, ritual silver and paintings and a portrait gallery of former rabbis and presidents. Also some finely crafted furniture of Australian red cedar made in the mid 1800's.
The tour and visit was so interesting that we were quite late for lunch. But thanks to Yvonne Webb, who rang the Catholic Club and asked if they could keep the kitchen open till we got there, we enjoyed a fabulous lunch at a very reasonable cost. The Catholic Club will be a great venue for lunch on our next trip into the City.
NO OUTING IN APRIL because of Easter and school holidays.
Next Art Group Outing will be THURSDAY 14TH MAY 2015.
This tour of historic Macquarie Street will show you different styles of architecture, grand statues, a wonderful Art Deco treasure and much more.
More details in next month's newsletter and on the website.
Please note the change of date due to the Caravan and Cabin trip at the beginning of May.
Yolanda Seach (Art Group Leader)

I need to know numbers so that I may confirm booking details in April.

If for any reason you cannot attend the April meeting please contact me on either email: [email protected] or on my mobile 0401 767 078. Looking forward to another great outing
Barry Potter
No one knows just why it happened or what caused them all to break
Though some blame it on red cordial and some say chocolate cake.
For in the Sunshine Nursing Home they’d all but called it quits.
Their pilot lights were just a glow - these ancient Senior Cits.
But the residents owned gophers and they charged about with glee.
Like a demolition derby after having morning tea.
Matron loved the idle chatter of these old folk having fun
On each mechanised conveyance as they raced out in the sun.
But this morning turned to mayhem through a quirky twist of fate
When the Vicar came to visit and forgot to shut the gate.
Then just like a start at Randwick in a bustling weight-for-age,
Off went twenty screaming gophers of a free-for-all rampage.
And the pace was quite horrific - they were good at standing starts –
Since some ancient bored mechanic fitted turbos to their carts.
With adrenalin now pumping they all thundered down the track
They weren’t looking to the left or right and sure weren’t looking back.
Clad in nighties and pyjamas with a towelling dressing gown –
They’d no time for dressing formal on their foray into town!
No one noticed they were missing, it was nap time at the Home.
But the suburbs were transforming to Mad Max’s Thunderdome.
Then a pack of mangy canines who forgot to look both ways
Were transformed to hairy speed-humps by this feral pack of greys.
Soon the air was filled with giggles and thick clouds of doggy fur –
Not unlike the Colosseum or a re-run from Ben Hur!
They’d an open street before them so they’d let their steeds unwind,
All their orange flags bent double in the slipstream left behind.
With their leader clocking eighty she was really on a roll,
Leaning into all the corners (she’d once been a bikie moll).
With the CBD approaching they rode bravely on their quest.
They had slipped into formation and were riding six abreast.
A young copper with his radar wore a somewhat puzzled look
As he searched for speeding gophers in his ‘traffic gotcha’ book.
But he found himself outnumbered so broke out into a sweat
As he radioed for backup with the town now under threat.
For this ancient band of bikies caused the copper to beware
Because lawlessness was rampant with rebellion in the air.
Then straight through an intersection one old boiler blew a tyre,
And the bank staff threw their hands up thinking they were under fire.
But then there it was – their Mecca they knew well from long ago.
‘Twas the township’s friendly tavern with its drive-through bottle-o.
All these ancient geriatrics now were going quite berserk
Doing wheel stands in the car park with extensive circle work.
With the bottle-o their focus they rode in to heist a haul.
The attendant tried to watch them but he couldn’t watch them all!
As they charged around the aisleways they eyeballed the rows of booze.
Just like kids inside a lolly shop they’d lots of things to choose.
Then with gopher baskets bulging stuffed with whisky, rum and gin,
They all charged around the bar room with their wheel-spin making din.
There some sought the banks of pokies in a frenzied gambling spree,
While an ancient band of punters hit the bar room TAB.
As they blitzed the pokie jackpots in some fifteen minutes flat
One bloke bagged a big trifecta in the first at Ballarat.
When the jukebox started blaring their past rhythm clearly showed,
For their gopher tyres were smoking as they bopped and do-si-doed.
All the while they swigged from bottles in their baskets on the front.
The poor bouncer tried to move them but was never in the hunt.
But their bodies now were tiring from this morning of abuse.
They’d slipped back to adolescence and were cruising fast and loose.
Then one ancient rider noted they were overdue for lunch,
So retreat was quickly sounded and they raced home as a bunch.
But the cops had reinforcements and a chopper in the sky,
And booked half the pack for speeding and the rest for DUI.
Then, defect-ing all their gophers the policemen closed the case,
Sent the culprits to their bedrooms, With each banished in disgrace.
Now the nursing home is quiet with no mention of the fray.
They just scoff their scones and jam and cream and while the time away.
Although sometimes, on a full moon it sure makes their old eyes glow
To recall the day they rode to town
to raid the bottle-o.
THE NURSING HOME BREAKOUT (By Bob Magor)
DECADENT DAY TRIPPERS
FEMALE ORPHAN SCHOOL TRIP
DATE: Wednesday 15 April 2015
ITINERARY:
After Kiama, let’s set our sights closer to home!
The Female Orphan School building is significant as the first purpose built charitable institution in Australia and predates the Hyde Park Barracks, Sydney. Construction of the building commenced in 1813 and was modelled on Airds, Elizabeth Macquarie’s Scottish childhood home. The girls who were raised there were given a basic education in reading, writing and needlework.
Meet at Parramatta Bus Interchange Stand A2 (Station side of Argyle Street) around 9:30am to catch the 9:41am 525 bus for the 10 minute trip to the UWS Campus at Rydalmere. We then walk part of the Campus Heritage Walk to the FOS to tour the school ($10pp Entry (Conc.)) and partake in the “Governing with Vision” tour – approx 45-60 minutes (standing and walking).
Time permitting, we can finish the Heritage Walk on our way back to the bus.
After the tour it is back on the bus (520, 521, 523-5, L20) and back to Parramatta for lunch in the Commercial Hotel near Parramatta Station.
Contact: Allan on 0418 474 127.

CHEESE & WINE NIGHT
WEDNESDAY 18 MARCH
On Wednesday 18th March 28 people attended the evening at the home of Lyn & Bob Hayhow. Although over 40 put their names down for this a lot of people rang and said they were going to the Seniors Concert in the city and would not be able to attend. I didn’t know the Concert was on that night (something to remember for the future).
As is usual with anything put on at our place it rained. From lunchtime onwards the sun would come out then rain would pour down for a few minutes and this continued until about 6pm. After that it was a beautiful night and most people went outside and sat around our table and ate cheese, biscuits and dips, drank wine and had beautiful pizza and all had a great time. We had a lot of compliments on the pizza which came from our local pizza shop at Beaumont Hills. Unfortunately we have no photos taken on the night. I didn’t think of it. Will remember for next time.
Look forward to the next evening at the home of Lee & Stephen Thomas in April.
I do not have anyone for the May evening. If you would like to host one please contact me and I will arrange it.
TUESDAY 21 APRIL
The next Cheese and Wine Evening will be held at the home of Lee and Stephen Thomas – 40 Darlington Street, Stanhope Gardens – Telephone: 8824 8384. There will be a maximum of 36 people, so please get in early and sign the sheet at our meeting on Friday 10 April.
Come along and enjoy yourself and get to know new members. Everyone always has a great time. Bring a bottle of wine, soft drink, orange juice, water - whatever is your preference.
If you are only staying for the cheese and biscuits please indicate to this effect on the “sign-on sheet”.
Look forward to seeing you “on the night”!

WALKING GROUP REPORT
CLIFTON GARDENS / CHOWDER BAY
TUESDAY 24TH MARCH
The first stage on the day was to take the ferry to Taronga Wharf, from there we walked to Bradley's Head. As in a previous walk, we came across quite a few Eastern Water Dragons, they seemingly were watching us!
After a brief talk on the Naval Memorial Walk, our 10 intrepid walkers continued on to Clifton Gardens. After a bit of food and water, we walked up the embankment to look at the buildings involved with the old Submarine Mine Depot.
The decision was made to walk up to George's Head to take in the spectacular view of the harbour and harbour entrance. The problem was, even the Leader hadn't realised how many steps there were to "Georges Head"! We had time to admire the big fixed guns (Middle Head Gun Placements) from 1890, to keep those pesky Russians from entering our lovely harbour. Anyway, the view was spectac-ular and a great place to have lunch, although Theo lost his filled roll when a kookaburra swooped down and grabbed in from his hand. Great enter-tainment value, thanks Theo!
There was some confusion as to how far we had walked, but Lee's mobile phone app (Strava), indicated we had walked nearly 10km.
Cheers Stephen & Lee.
Our intrepid leader shows the way!
KIAMA KAPERS
We all got to Central by 8am, some with coffee, others complaining about the early start! When I worked in the City, being there by 8 was no big deal, so why am I one of the grumblers? We took great efforts to avoid the QUIET carriages and it soon became obvious why. I enjoy the journey South for the scenery. It starts by crossing the Georges River, through the Royal National Park and then running further South with the Illawarra Escarpment on one side and the coast on the other. Finally, coming out of the tunnel at Kiama to see that fabulous coastline – Spectacular!
It appears I was in the minority. As the decibels rose, two old codgers sitting across from us were heard to remark: “Sounds like a flock of Corellas!” A few stations further on:
Codger 1: “Who do you think let them out?” Codger 2: “No One! I think they escaped!”
Either way, by North Wollongong the carriage was ours!
Dee and Renzo met us at Kiama Station. They are both looking fit and healthy and obviously fitting in to their new environment. Whether Kiama survives them is another matter. We then broke into two groups. Dee took the Shoppers into the shopping strip whilst Renzo took the sightseers for a walk around the point. There was not much surf so the Blow Hole was only spewing the occasional jet of foam into the air. But after sitting on the train for so long the walk was much appreciated.
We met up again at the Blue Diamond Bistro in the Sebel. It is very strategically located looking out over the bay. The service was a bit patchy but when the food arrived, most people seemed to enjoy it. Of course, they did NOT get their food served on a bit of wood as I did! Scientists and Engineers have been working for centuries on this new device called a PLATE! Not only does it stop food slopping all over the table, it also goes into the hygienic dishwasher! Get with the times people!
After lunch, most of us meandered back through town to the station. A few took up the invite for a quick look at Dee and Renzo’s new dwelling. The timeline was tight, but we all made it back on the train in time. This time the decibels were heightened with the rhythmic sounds of snoring as some of the group “rested their eyes”. Marg and I left home at 6am to return just after 5pm. A long day but a very enjoyable one.
Final Point: Whilst researching this trip, my planning tool indicated the full adult fare from my place to Kiama and return would have been around $25.00. We did it for $2.50! With savings like this, maybe we should go to Kiama every week?
Allan Collins
Dee and Renzo haven’t changed it seems!
The quiet carriage!!!!
Was Kiama prepared for this
lot I ask?????
THE SATNAV by Pam Ayres
I have a little SATNAV,
It sits there in my car
A Satnav is a driver's friend,
It tells you where you are.
I have a little Satnav I've had it most my life
It's better than the normal ones, My Satnav is my wife.
It gives me full instructions, Especially how to drive
“It's sixty miles an hour", it says, “You're doing sixty five”
It tells me when to stop and start And when to use the brake
And tells me that it's never ever, Safe to overtake.
It tells me when a light is red, And when it goes to green
It seems to know instinctively, Just when to intervene.
It lists the vehicles just in front, And all those to the rear
And taking this into account, It specifies my gear.
I'm sure no other driver, Has so helpful a device
For when we leave and lock the car, It still gives its advice.
It fills me up with counselling, Each journey's pretty fraught So why don't I exchange it,
And get a quieter sort?
Ah well, you see, it cleans the house, Makes sure I'm properly fed
It washes all my shirts and things, And keeps me warm in bed!
Despite all these advantages, And my tendency to scoff,
I only wish that now and then, I could turn the bugger off.
