President's Report

President’s Report - July
         
Here we go again. Stuck in Lockdown. Who could have foreseen this situation going back eighteen months? There does not appear to be an end in sight, and that means we are almost prisoners in our own home for some time to come. This is a very difficult time.

I would like to appeal to all members to think about how they could cheer up a fellow member. If every one of us made at least three phone calls per week to other Club members, then at least that may go some way towards relieving the tedium for both the call-maker and the call-taker. Think about the Probus values of friendship, fellowship and fun. Make a couple of phone calls and speak to your friends. Don’t just assume that a certain person is OK. Ring them to find out. Three calls per week is not a difficult. In fact, why not make it six?

So it looks like we are back to Zoom meetings once again. Toni Smith has been busy on the telephone trying to arrange speakers who are prepared to join us in a Zoom meeting. Andrew Little is doing his usual fantastic job of producing the Newsletter. It looks like this will have to be our two major means of communication in coming months.

Welfare

Welfare Report July

​Hello Everyone!

Well it’s a bit of Déjà vu. Just as we were getting back into the swing of things and enjoying catching up with each other and all our activities, here we are again in lockdown.

I know lots of you are keeping in contact with each other and making sure we are all coping ok. If you know of anyone you are concerned about then let Terry Ridge or myself know so we can make contact.

In the meantime I thought I’d share some of the riveting activities I’ve been up to filling in time.
Painting, painting and more painting. I actually enjoy doing this! It’s so satisfying to see the end result. Car washing, oven cleaning, gardening, raking up the last of the fallen leaves, shopping, reading, crosswords, sudoku, catching up on Netflix, cleaning [the cleaner can’t come so…. Now I really appreciate what she does!], making phone calls, walking, practicing 500, some cooking [when I’m allowed in the kitchen!], oven cleaning and descaling the kitchen kettle.  Now I look at this list I’m surprised how busy I am.

Hope you are all keeping occupied as well. Hopefully see you on zoom at the next general meeting.

Environmental Change Is Required For Disposable Coffee Cups

Our current disposable coffee/tea cups cost around 20 to 25 cents each.

They are NOT recyclable due to the plastic membrane that lines them and can take up to 30 years to degrade.
Our landfills are choking with the daily arrival of 2 million “disposable” cups per day.

France banned single use disposable in 2020, other countries are following this trend.  Coles & Woolworths both announced that they will stop selling single use plastic tableware, including cups by 1 July this year.

SOLUTION?
Buy yourselves a reusable coffee cup that shows that you’re “environmentally responsible” and form a habit of using them daily (keep in your bag or car), similar to the use of plastic reusable supermarket bags now.

Look in Target, Kmart or other similar stores and you will see there are a large range of reusable cups, especially the light insulated type that will keep your drink hot, or wine cold (use for white wine at wine & cheese nights).  They all have protective “no spill” lids.
 
BRING YOUR REUSABLE CUP TO OUR MONTHLY MEETINGS & RINSE IN THE SINK AFTER USE!

Book Challenge

SIT – READ – CHILL!

Another 7 books read this month - SRC Challenge has reached 40!
The ‘SIT – READ – CHILL’ Challenge will run from March to the end of August, and you can join at any time. You set your challenge and then aim to reach it.  
To be part of this challenge, just search Facebook for WPH&D Book Challenge and join us.
A few ‘I really can’t waste my life finishing this book’ moments this month: James Patterson’s The Cross, and Three Women Disappear, How to Paint a Dead Man, Sarah Hall. Life’s too short! James Patterson needs to keep collaborating with others. His solo stuff is hard to get into. But the real problem (The Cross) was the most appalling reader – with sound effect for total melodramatic cheap chic.

This Month:
Nothing Ventured by Jeffrey Archer: Another excellent story and a great reader. First in the series about William Warwick and his journey to becoming a detective. His father expected him to study law and join his firm as a barrister. Not for William. He graduates from Uni, and despite being eligible to fast tracking through the ranks, starts at the bottom out on the beat, rising to join Scotland Yard’s Art and Antiques Fraud squad, beginning with a search for a stolen Rembrandt and some other frauds. Many twists but very enjoyable.

Widows’ Revenge by Lynda La Plante: The follow on to “Widows”. Continues the story of crime-land wives. Against all odds, the widows manage to pull of a heist that their husbands had failed to do at the cost of their lives. Then one widow discovers her husband’s betrayal, and that he isn’t dead. He’s now going to make them pay.

Sisters by Choice by Susan Mallery: Three cousins on Blackberry Island, each with pear-shaped problems involving how they move into the future. All about love, family and the friendships that see you through whatever life throws at you. Told with humour and charm.

The Darkest Evening by Ann Cleeves: This is from the crop of books about Detective Inspector Vera Stanhope – also a TV series. On a late snowy night, driving down an unfamiliar road, Vera becomes lost and disorientated. She finds a car that has skidded off the road and stops to help. Thinking the absent driver has gone to find help, she turns. Then she hears the cry of a young child – strapped in the back of the car. The resulting investigation has Vera uncovering her family’s complicated past. Many twists and turns and a good read.

Becoming by Michelle Obama: The story of the Obama’s journey the White House. If follows her life from a humble beginning in Chicago, through her realisation of the importance of education, her own law career, and how she played her role as First Lady. A good insight into American politics without it being too heavy.

The Guest List by Lucy Foley: On an island off the windswept Irish coast, guests father for the wedding of the year – the marriage of Jules Keegan and Will Slater. Old friends – past grudges – happy families – hidden jealousies – thirteen guests – one body. All are trapped when a storm unleashes its fury on the island. All have a secret. All have a motive. Keeps you guessing right to the end.

Neither Here Nor There by Bill Bryson: This read was just a break from all the heavier stuff. Amusing but not necessarily enthralling. 20 years earlier, Bryson had seen Europe as a backpacker. Now he decides to make a sentimental return. Interesting observations of how time has changed things as well as memories.

​
Our amended lists are:
Picture
Picture
Accommodation:

We have booked the “Park Ridge Retreat” Gerringong, just south of Kiama, providing circa 4 star accommodation) and is adjacent the local shops.                https://www.parkridgeretreat.com.au
Except for single and triple rooms (refer table) our room only “group booking” tariff is $465.00/room for three nights ($155.00/night). Room allocation is mainly on the ground and middle floors.
Motel Meals:
  • Hot Breakfast (Bacon & eggs and other choices) at $15.00 per person, tea, coffee, and juice.
  • One Course Dinner at $25 per person, or 2 courses $35 choices of meals to be confirmed.
Motel payments
Advisedly everyone has now paid their $100 deposit, whilst the majority is refundable, there is a $300.00 non-refundable group booking charge. We will require the accommodation balance of $365.00 (single $320 and triple $557) by the end of August.
All payments should be paid into the Activities Account and identified with your Surname & Kiama.

Evening Meals
We have made group bookings for both trips at the following:
  • Sunday; Gerringong Bowling Club, Pacific Ave, Werrs Beach (6.30pm). Large modern club, opposite the beach with our own first floor room
  • Monday; Cronin’s Hotel, 29 Belinda Street, Gerringong (6.30pm). Lynne and I dined here last year, very good bistro
  • Tuesday; Olive & Vine, 87 Manning Street, Kiama (7.30pm). Highly recommended by one of our members

Note; links are to existing menus are not necessarily what will be available in October.
Also due to our numbers we have a 7.30 booking and a set menu for Olive & Vine, two courses $40 or three $50. Send me an email if you require a copy of the menu.

We have made reservations assuming full attendance by our respective groups. Therefore can you please et us (Max) know by the end of August if you will not be attending any of these venues and we will adjust our reservations.

Activities
As usual we will endeavour to ensure this will be a very flexible trip, with how much or little you do entirely up to you. We will try for a major attraction each day, preferably morning.
This will generally provide “free time” after lunch for the various other attractions, all of which will undoubtedly have various levels of appeal. Thus we recommend you do some homework (at least check out some web sites etc.) to ascertain any individual preferences.

The hotel webpage includes a number of links to various local attractions:
https://www.parkridgeretreat.com.au/attractions.html

We will include a few different YouTube links each month, just for inspiration:
Walk & Talk - Episode 55 - Minnamurra Falls Walk - YouTube
Treetop Walk | Illawarra Fly Treetop Adventures
Seven Mile Beach National Park | NSW National Parks
 
Costs
Except for the stated accommodation costs, it is best if all other costs, e.g. breakfasts, lunches, dinners and all activities are paid for separately, by the participants.

Other
Any suggestions or questions please give me a call.
Looking forward to both your company and a great trip.
 
P.S. I’m looking some inspiration for April next year, any suggestions?

Who could this be in the image top left? Please name the person and course!

I could make up a story about how everybody played this month and then again you would see right through it.

PUZZLE (Below): Fill in the blanks to which Golf Courses we have played and one we would like too someday, plus a misc. word.

Not surprisingly, there was no Investment Group meeting in July. Whilst I would like to think we will be able to hold a meeting in August, it seems increasingly unlikely. Whenever the next meeting will take place, it will be held at 10:00am on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at my home.

The topic for discussion will be “Comparing using a stock broker verses an online share trading platform such as CommSec”. The usual enticement of a home baked cake will the available to all participants, along with tea and coffee.

Photography

Picture
Probus Photography Group
Due to the Covid-19 lockdown we will postpone this month’s meeting until August which is looking like to be by Zoom due to the lockdown. Our meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month.

Facebook Site
Our Facebook site shows members images and there are references to a wide variety of learning videos and articles that can be looked back for reference.
The Facebook site is located at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/254025278937219/?ref=group_header
If you would like to see the Facebook site, please put a request in from your Facebook page to join the group. If you are a member of our Probus club you will be granted access, you don’t need to join the photography meetings. There are currently 31 members who access the Facebook site which is almost a third of the club’s membership. Some of the images are fantastic and are as good as many photographs shown in photography clubs.

Training on Lightroom and Photoshop
To make photos “pop” they need to be post processed. Lightroom is a program that helps to organise and process photos. Bain has kindly offered to run a workshop on Lightroom for the group. The date is to be advised and will need to wait until the lockdown is lifted.
Photoshop allows photographers to be more creative with photos and following the Lightroom workshop Rob will schedule some photoshop workshops.
If you are interested in these workshops, please let me know.

Next Outing
Unfortunately, we can’t schedule an outing whilst lockdown is in place. As soon as the lockdown is over, we will restart these events.

Photography Tip: When taking photographs of people look at converting the photograph to monochrome. This can be done with the free software on your computer or phone.

Next Meetings
  • Next Meeting: Wednesday August 18 at 7:30pm via Zoom.  The July meeting is being postponed due to the coordinator having a knee operation.​

Theatre and Musicals

Live Theatre July 2021

  
Our theatre party to “The Addams Family” presented by Sydney Youth Musical Theatre at Hornsby RSL Club, 7:30pm on Friday 9 July 2021 was an early casualty of the Covid emergency. This show season has been rescheduled to Friday 28 January 2022 if this date is unsuitable please contact the Treasurer for a refund,
 
We have a group confirmation for the enormously popular “Hamilton” at The Lyric Theatre on Wednesday 3 November 2021 with 40 good downstairs stall seats reserved (Rows H-N).
 
Group purchase price of these tickets are $185 each and will be $210 each inclusive of return coach travel.
 
 I fully appreciate that the price does not necessarily make it accessible for all however, this is the best group price available and a great way to shake off the “Lock-down” blues which should hopefully be behind us by that date.
 
Hailed by critics as “a reinvention of the musical” – Chicago Tribune and “a singular work of brilliance.” – Rolling Stone, HAMILTON has gone from theatrical rebel to cultural phenomenon.
 
The public demand for this show is unprecedented and we need to finalise our booking by 31 August 2021 in order to secure these seats.
 
Payment is due by by 31 August 2021 to West Pennant Hills and District Probus Club Activities and Events Account. Please quote your surname and “Hamilton”.
