Watsonia 50s Plus Club Inc BBQ
Approximately 80 members had a delightful time at our Christmas BBQ event on Thursday 14th December 2023. Originally planned for the park, we had to move indoors due to the unfavorable weather conditions. Inside the hall, round tables were arranged for everyone's comfort. While John and David expertly grilled the sausages, our remarkable team of women took care of crafting a scrumptious salad for lunch, followed by a delightful serving of ice cream and a homemade fruit salad.
This gathering marked a delightful way to conclude the year for our club.
The club will be re-opening early next year on Wednesday 24th January 2024 for Scrabble from 1.00 pm to 4.00 pm, on Thursday 25th January Cards will commence at noon, followed by Bowls and Table Tennis at 1.00 pm.
