Good morning all,

Thought I’d wait till this morning in case there was rain to report! As far away as ever. Did you know the worst day of any drought is the day before it rains!

Big weekends at Wentworth and White Cliffs, hope all went well both ends, I’m sure it would have.

I notice too, Police in Ivanhoe are saying “enough is enough”, seat belts, mobile phones, helmets, unregistered, etc. “compliance before heartache”, good on you fellas. Speaking of Ivanhoe, if you’re nearby next Thursday, drop in to the RSL Club about 7-30 PM and be in the Super Raffle night. Lots of fun and a beer or 3.

We start with the big Menindee Fishing Comp. Next weekend. 2 full days of fun and prizes and things to do. A few days relaxing and then toodle off to Broken Hill and be part of the “Broken Heel Festival”, it’s happening on the 8-9-10^th. Big weekend too. Plus everything else you can do and see in The Hill. Ask Patrick and the gang at the Visitors Centre, then head out to Peter and Patsy at the Silverton Pub, you’ll be hanging around for a week.

During that week, duck down to Menindee again on the Thursday the 14^th. only an hours trip. They have “Menindee on Show” that day, you’ll enjoy it. Then relax in Menindee for a couple of days and be part of the big Menindee Rugby League Knock Out Carnival on the 16^th. There’ll be some good football.

You then have less than a week to get to Ivanhoe. So over to Wilcannia, have a few days on the Darling river, be taken to the Golf Club and have Chinese with Richard, head down the Cobb Highway (in good condition), to Ivanhoe, drop the van with Wendy and be out at Kilfera bright and early Friday 22^nd. for the Bi-annual “Kilfera Field Day. Then line up for the 2 day “Ivanhoe Campdraft and Rodeo”.

You’ll need a spell after that so relax at the pub with Dave and Michelle.

Posters in next week for the big events, sorry I’m a bit late today, no excuse really, have a great week, see you at Warrawong Wednesday night. Cheers  Bill Elliott.  WCTA.
