The smell of jasmine is in the air ... Spring is here ... don't know about you but that makes me smile

To Marcelle and Simon, a big bear hug from us all. We wish you a most beautiful day.

President Shield | Friday 4 September, 7:00pm
Look forward to a fun night with lots of cheering, and the cheering will be loud as we will be many. For those of you who don't have their physical ticket, I will be at the club at 6:45, and will wait at the bottom of the stairs. If you aren't there by 7:00 I will leave your ticket at reception. And Rosie, please don't forget. A personal reminder SMS will be sent to yourself Friday mid-afternoon.

We want your brain power and sense of fun for all things trivia.
COUNTRY VERSUS COUNTRY so get your tables organised. On the night, please include something visible on your person that is typically country of origin. For the Aussies, perhaps a touch of zinc ... and for the Scot, a kilt would be lovely.

Trivia night with a twist
Saturday 10 October
Mosman RSL
Weekly emails, five in total, will be sent, each with a question and its answer. These questions will be included in the trivia night, and will be given bonus points.

Cost: $15 per head and includes a platter of olives, chips, dips, crusty bread and bread sticks, which will be served part way through the evening
Time: 6:30 for a 7:15 start
Food: The above platter per table is included in the entry price. Of course you can come early and have dinner in the bistro, or order from the bistro and eat at your trivia table, however we will need your attention when the trivia begins at 7:15 please.
Drink: Can be purchased from the bar
Table arrangements will be of 8 or 10.
Payment: Would like to have an idea on numbers by 6 September and payment by 27 September. For catering purposes we do need to advise the RSL Club by Monday 5 October. If you are unable to pay or just unsure by these dates please let me know.
Prizes: Can you offer some prizes please

The more of you ... the more fun. Bring friends, relatives, neighbours, someone you meet in the street, other running club people, paddlers ... we want you all there!

From Phil W on the beat
We are unaware of other excuses and disabilities, but Laurie ran with a heel spur (still attached from the night before?!) and missed out on a podium finish, being 5th out of 334 in M70-79.
