CLUBHOUSE NEWS
Hi there, Clubhouse family and friends. Welcome to our April newsletter. We hope you
had a lovely easter and ate plenty of chocolate! A lot has been happening at Clubhouse
over the last month withe lots more coming up! We've had fun outings and made new
friends, held a very successful fundraiser BBQ, we've seen action aplenty with our
groups, had lots of laughs and many a good conversation over delicious cups of coffee!
The fishing group brought in a good haul of 10 whiting, well done! The mens and
womens groups have been having a blast (as always) and the gardening group will
soon reap the rewards of hard work on the veggie garden, and not to forget all the arts
and crafts and usual good times going on at Clubhouse!!

Read on and enjoy this month's mammoth newsletter!

CLUBHOUSE OUTINGS
The reintroduction of clubhouse outings was a huge hit last month. We visited the
Wollongong Botanical Gardens to see the sculptures and met up with some of the
West St group. We enjoyed a visit to West St for their Recovery Day, where members
shared their stories and enjoyed a lovely day of crafts, tennis, lunch and much more.
Berry was next on the list with a visit to the gorgeous historical town and some of its
iconic landmarks. Feedback from members was very positive so we hope we can keep
these going...Watch this space!
