April Point Nepean / Portsea / Sorrento ( Ian Weir)
May The Timber Benders – not available
We are now proposing an overnight trip to the Daylesford area. Visiting local sites, The Mill (antiques etc) then Overwrought (a demonstration of metal sculpture and garden display).
then overnight at the RACV resort with dinner at Creswick followed by visit to the woollen mills and then calling into Ballarat with a bit of sightseeing on way home(Roy Heeps)
June Tram Museum at Hawthorn (Doug Cook)
Functions and outings for the first 3 months of the year are already in the pipeline - see
advertisements in this and coming newsletters. The second half of 2020 will be considered at
future Outings Team Meetings. Mike Bampfield and Ian Weir are teaming up to bring us the
ultimate Cruise Proposal – be ready to make a commitment when the time comes.
