Planning for 2022 Activities
We've been having a difficult time so far this year, but things are looking up.
Activities in the planning so far - for 2022 include:
Lyric Theatre Brisbane -
Raymond can keep the “9 to 5 “ (Dolly Parton show) at the Lyric theatre open until we get an idea of how many would like to go. The dates are 24, 25, 26 May. We would probably go by train unless we have over 35 members wanting to go.
Ferns Hideaway has been sold after 40 years of Marto and Genevieve welcoming and entertaining their guests - it might be a good idea to do another trip later in the year to meet the new owners.
I have had a suggestion for a day trip from one of our members which I will look at to see if they do anything for group tours.
It is our birthday in April and hopefully we will be meeting again by then. I have spoken to Liz at Yaralla and we can have a buffet lunch again this year.
Pauline will cherish all submissions.
Gladstone Branch 2022 Activity Calendar
There isn't a lot to report as until we have a meeting, I really can’t organize anything.
I need to know how many members are willing to do day trips.

An interesting announcement - Ferns Hideaway has been sold after 40 years of Marto and Genevieve welcoming and entertaining their guests. It will be very different from now on. I am sure everyone wishes the new owners the very best. We may need to do another trip later in the year to meet the new owners.
